Alan Kelly (Tipperary, Labour) | Oireachtas source

Is it comments or questions or both? The Chairman knows me too well. I have a few questions and I do not wish to go over old ground. I have great sympathy with regard to the pay differential. None of us can give a guarantee of being in the Oireachtas or in government after the next election, but the issue will certainly have to be dealt with by any coalition that is in place. It is high time it was dealt with because it is a significant contributing factor. Given my age profile, I know many of the people who are affected by it. I have a practical question. Is the IHCA affiliated to the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, ICTU?
