I know that the Minister had a lengthy discussion earlier with other colleagues on the Lansdowne Road agreement. It is often perceived that the agreement is effectively in tatters because of some of the Government's actions in recent months. It seems to have used a huge portion of the available space in dealing with some of the earlier public sector disputes. Is the Minister going to address fairly the concerns of public sector sectors and can we expect to see early in 2017 serious discussions and negotiations to restore their pay and conditions?
