Mr. Niall Gleeson:

On how we avoid this in the future, we and Fingal County Council have to look at the ways of working. We have listed several actions. However, direct control and our ability to directly communicate with staff is not in the current way of working. It is subject to the Workplace Relations Commission, meaning I am limited to that process. In certain areas, we need to look at improving ways of working under the current service level agreements, SLAs.
