Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

When will this new legislation be published and when will it come before the House? Last November I said the national pay deal could not be paid. At the time the Government gave no indication of its view. Two bodies which are parties to the national pay deal have now pulled out. Is it still intact? Is the Tánaiste now saying that other State bodies will pay or will not pay the remaining parts of the agreement, as drafted?
