Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

In reply to Deputy Rabbitte, I have met representatives of the INO directly. They pointed out to me the difficulties they have and that they believed other categories of staff were allowed in under the previous agreement where they were not. They have suggested to me mechanisms they believe should be used in dealing with that case. They have made their point of view clearly known through the normal industrial relations channels and we will try to assist them in that regard.
