Public Accounts Committee
Health Service Executive - Review of Allowances
3:40 pm
Mr. Barry O'Brien:
Yes, I am. Some of the categories mentioned by the Deputy have no access to the Labour Court. They do not have access under statute. They have separate and different mechanisms for dealing with issues as they arise. We go to the Labour Court when we are in dispute or when we need a third party to make a definition as to how we should conduct our business. That is how a ruling would emerge.
