Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

The dormant accounts Bill will be published later this year. Unfortunately there is no date on Údarás na Gaeltachta, but I shall get an update from the Minister, Deputy Ó Cuív, on the Deputy's behalf.

I appreciate what the Deputy is saying about the work to rule in the public sector. It is important to reiterate that the Government is open to discussions in the context of not just this issue but also reform of the Civil Service and the public sector. The Minister for Finance, as the public service employer, is more than open for consultation and discussions on the issue.
