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

The Minister has given us a good deal of information but the real concern is if there is a strike, serious issues arise about the safety of the young people and how they will be looked after. I do not know if there is a plan or if the Minister has genuine hope that this process will address the issues. I agree with Deputy Ó Laoghaire that some of them are quite practical in terms of issues that can be addressed.

Some of the others may be a bit more intractable. We all want to ensure that the concerns the staff expressed to us are addressed.
