Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The Deputy referred to reports from the Cabinet. I never comment on what happened at Cabinet meetings but there are reports that the Deputy is considering the position in so far as his new constituency is concerned. The Croke Park agreement runs until 2013. Independent analysis of that showed up favourably in respect of it being implemented as far as roster changes, redeployment and movement of personnel out of the public service was concerned. It will form part of the analysis and preparation for the budget for 2013 when both Ministers report to Cabinet. I intend to meet with the public service unions, along with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, in the near future in regard to the Croke Park agreement.
