Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
National Ambulance Service: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Eamonn Hunt:
I am not sure there is significantly more I can add to what Mr. Healy has said. Negotiation processes and complex industrial relations disputes can be protracted and difficult. There will be competing positions. Through the engagement with SIPTU and Unite, it is a professional engagement. We will utilise the Work Relations Commission, WRC. We believe that what is proposed is in the interests of the service and employees. It is up to us to engage and achieve that outcome.
