Mr. Donnacha McKeon:

The information I have from the employer service provider is that it has engaged at the WRC. For clarity, there are two separate groups within the part-time employees who are in dispute. One is the more senior operators and it is a smaller group. It was at the WRC. Following the failure of that process to come up with a resolution, the service provider, Pi Comms, told me it is standing by to engage with that employee group again at the Labour Court. It is also standing by to engage with the larger group of junior operatives at the WRC. It is waiting for that to happen.
