Concretely, the gardaí's pay claim, which I support, poses a serious challenge to the Lansdowne Road agreement because they are saying they will not wait, that they will take action and the Government will come under pressure.

I would support the exertion of this pressure to give a concession. Does this not pose a challenge to the Minister's strategy for dealing with pay restoration?
