Mary Upton (Dublin South Central, Labour)

I wish the Minister well with those negotiations but it is important that all parties are brought to the table together, otherwise unilateral discussions could potentially run on. As indicated by the GPA, strike action is a danger, which would disrupt the inter-county games beginning in the new year. That must be avoided at all costs, as that will serve nobody. Has the Irish Sports Council a role in managing this issue?
