Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is not the case that a template has been created for dealing with fire-fighters. What has occurred is that the terms and processes of the Lansdowne Road agreement have been used to deal with this matter. As I stated, we will use the processes provided for in the agreement to engage with different sectoral trade unions to do what we can in response to the issues they are raising. However, all such responses must comply with the structures, timeframe and costs set out in the Lansdowne Road agreement.

To respond to Deputy Cullinane, I am not threatening or punishing any trade union.
