Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I note reports of progress in negotiations between the unions and the Government under the auspices of the Labour Relations Commission. Some media reports indicate the Government has dropped some of the more anti-family and anti-women aspects that led to the defeat of the proposed Croke Park II deal. Does the Government intend to introduce legislation to cut the pay of public sector workers or will it now take this opportunity to assist the talks by taking that threat off the table?
