Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Section 39 Organisations: Discussion
9:00 am

I am sorry to keep interrupting, but that directly contradicts what the representatives of the section 39 agencies said when they were here a few moments ago. They were very clear that they had been advised by the HSE to go through the industrial relations channels. Ms Mannion has been involved with this issue for a long time and knows that one cannot keep running into and out of the Labour Court to handle something that should be resolved at local level. She would not thank me, nor I her, if we were back in that scenario again and the court does not like it. It is clearly of the view that that is what is being done. Will Ms Mannion tell the section 39 agencies that it was never said to them? It directly contradicts what they have said to us.
