Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

The Minister is expecting the trade unions, which are being corralled to deal with just one agency, to contemplate issues which have not been put on the table. If their members are told the decentralisation programme is voluntary and they have the right to remain in Dublin and continue to do their jobs there, how can these issues be resolved by the trade unions? The Minister is putting them in an impossible position.
