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

I have met the public services committee of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions on one occasion since the issuing of the Labour Court recommendation. My officials have been in contact with the representatives and met them on at least two occasions since. With regard to the discussions, the representatives have made two key points publicly. They have said they want the kinds of benefit that were conferred under the Labour Court recommendation. They want comparable benefits for their members. They have said they want accelerated negotiations on wage restoration, leading to a faster pace of restoration in the future. They have been very clear publicly on these matters.
