The Government authorised the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform to give the chairman of the Labour Relations Commission a few extra days to engage with unions with regard to Croke Park II. I hope some progress can be made in that regard. The chairman of the LRC will report to the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform on Monday and the Minister will brief the Cabinet on Tuesday on the outcome of the discussions and the options open to us. The bottom line remains at €300 million of savings this year, leading to €1 billion by 2015.
