I also want to raise the issue of legislation arising from the Croke Park deal. Legislation will be required irrespective of the view the trade union membership takes. One of the items of legislation is a new financial emergency measures in the public interest Bill. I do not yet have an idea of how the other items of legislation will be framed. The new Croke Park deal takes effect on 1 July. It lacks credibility for the Taoiseach to say he has no notion of the timeline of the legislation. Officials in the relevant Departments probably have the legislation drafted. How many items of legislation are required? Will one of them be another financial emergency measures in the public interest Bill? When will we see these items of legislation?
