Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I enjoin the Irish Congress of Trade Unions and the employers' organisations. They have issued a joint statement on this matter calling for the appointment of an independent chairperson to bring about a resolution. I am sure the recommendations of the Labour Court can be taken into account when that happens. I would like to see an end to this dispute and for people to be able to go back to work.
