Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The Tánaiste said there is no renegotiation of the national pay deal but that members of the Government are in constant contact with the social partnership. This sends out conflicting messages. I have made my view known about a pay freeze in respect of the national pay deal. Does the Government intend to pay the national pay deal or not?

In respect of the Lisbon treaty, the Tánaiste said there is no intention to introduce legislation giving effect to a second referendum. Am I to take it from that reply that the Government does not intend to hold a second referendum on the Lisbon treaty?
