The Department takes the view that existing IR structures can continue to operate and deal with issues about redundancy, pensions, seasonal workers and the terms and hours of their work. Those are all IR issues but are they distinctively different to IR issues that arise as a result of the closure of peat production and, therefore, are they distinctly different IR issues to those that would come under the just transition that a commissioner is being appointed to look after?
