Ms Louise McGirr:

It is a matter for the Department of Health and the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth. Obviously, a significant number of the bodies involved are disability bodies. We have been engaging with the unions representing the section 39 employees on an ongoing basis. There are multiple unions involved. As the CEO said, we made an offer of 5%. That offer is comparable to the 5% offered and accepted in other similar bodies across the public service.
