Clare Daly (Dublin North, United Left) | Oireachtas source

I am glad to hear the Taoiseach say the circumstances are extraordinary, but what I have said is true. If the Taoiseach really means what he says, I believe there will be a follow-on from this discussion. There were discussions under way in the company and there have been three Labour Court attendances over the past 18 months, but sadly the employer has either broken or not recognised any of those decisions. Instead, it has resorted to the costly mechanism of the High Court. A case for this morning was adjourned until next Tuesday.

It is true that untrained workers are out on the streets. It is true that people nobody knows are being picked up in car parks and brought in to do the work of these unionised workers who pay tax on revenue.
