Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick East, Labour)

Does the Minister agree it is very disappointing that the talks broke down, particularly in respect of the health service because of the likelihood of achieving agreement on redeployment, flexibility and an 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. working day? Following the breakdown of the talks, will it not be very difficult for the Minister to achieve what she wants to achieve with regard to streamlining the HSE? Is it correct to say that only 16% of those who opted for early retirement were in the administrative or management grades?
