Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

My Department has been in contact with ICTU seeking to get discussions under way on the range of industrial relations issues impacting on relocating State agency posts to locations outside of Dublin. I understand that ICTU is considering this proposal and I remain hopeful that meaningful discussions can take place on the full range of issues impacting on the relocation of the State agencies. I will not repeat what I said earlier.
