Public Service Agreement 2010-14: Discussion with Implementation Body

12:40 pm

Mr. P. J. Fitzpatrick:

In industrial relations, one never knows what is around the corner. So far, the agreement has coped robustly with whatever has come its way. As I said earlier, big-ticket items have come its way. I gave some examples of people losing real money, apart from pay cuts, as this is on top of that. Of course something could happen. Do I know of anything that is going to happen at the moment? The answer is "No," but that is not to say something could not happen.
