Mr. Tony O'Brien:

The Labour Relations Commission, LRC, mediated deal was agreed and is recommended to the members of the two bodies. Those two bodies are in the consultation phase with their members. There will be a meeting with us in a couple of days, at our invitation, to discuss the implementation phase. We, the management side, which includes the Department and the HSE as employer, have indicated on the basis of the agreement reached at the LRC that we intend to proceed with implementation from the beginning of November. The day we have selected is Monday, 5 November.
