The Government is committed to provide Garda representative bodies with access to the Workplace Relations Commission and the Labour Court, as the Tánaiste will recall. Is it intended to provide similar access to PDFORRA and the representatives of the Defence Forces in the legislation?

Can the Tánaiste indicate when the adjudicator's payment of €15 per day, to be paid to the brave sailors on Operation Pontus and that was agreed last November, will actually be paid? The Government was happy to take credit for the great humanitarian work done by our Naval Service. However, it is important that they would be paid the allowance agreed for that work.
