Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

On the sale of assets, the Government has a position on this aspect and the Irish Congress of Trade Unions put forward a position paper on the sale of assets which, I have no doubt, will be discussed during the social partnership talks.

On atypical workers, I am aware of that initiative. The issue has not yet come up in the talks but it will come up. I am aware of the position for actors, musicians, sculptors and all atypical workers. The issue arose, in particular, in regard to the ILO issue.
