2016 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 29 - Communications, Climate Action and Environment
9:00 am
Mr. Mark Griffin:
There are things that we are entitled to include in procurement tender documentation in respect of compliance with employment law. Obviously, that would be included. Whether the documentation specifically states that there is an obligation on the party that is successful in the tender process to engage with the industrial relations machinery of the State, I cannot say. However, we would expect that where there is a difference of opinion between employers and employees, the facilitates of the State, by way of the WRC or the Labour Court, should be available, as in the case of Conduit. Again, I will come back on that.
