Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

I cannot give a detailed answer on the second issue today. I will get the Deputy an explanation. I am sure whatever is done is by agreement. Obviously, marrying two jurisdictions with different rates of pay and different tax systems poses its challenges. I understand that all these issues are being addressed.

I believe I have already supplied the Deputy with a copy of recommended actions to be taken by Waterways Ireland following the report of the investigators. Those recommendations have been fully implemented. One of the people with a grievance, who represented part of the subject of the investigation, has taken a case against Waterways Ireland for his dismissal and is seeking reinstatement. It is that person's right and nobody will deny him it. Obviously, Waterways Ireland will defend itself and its action in that case, particularly based on the investigator's report.
