Jan O'Sullivan (Limerick City, Labour) | Oireachtas source

I have engaged in discussions with Unite on that specific issue of the workers' rate of pay. The Deputy has provided a slightly simplistic way of describing it. In respect of the ongoing dispute at the site referred to by the Deputy, I understand that both parties have attended a Labour Court hearing, a construction industry disputes tribunal hearing and also a Labour Relations Commission hearing. I have written to both parties and I urge them to engage meaningfully in talks with a view to reaching a resolution. The parties are using the State apparatus for disputes resolution and that is the appropriate way to address the issue.
