The Croke Park deal is between the Government as an employer and the public sector trade unions as employees. It is not about social partnership but a bilateral pay agreement for public servants. With regard to the social partnership agreement, who signed up to it? It would have included the Government, the Irish Congress of Trade Unions for public sector workers, as well as the unions in the private sector. I am sure IBEC and the IFA signed up to it.
