In view of the impending industrial action in this area, what is the Government's position on implementing a 2009 directive of the Labour Court concluding that community employment supervisors should be paid pensions? I remind the Tánaiste that when I raised this recently, the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection attacked the Opposition. I remind the Tánaiste that his party has been in government for nine of the ten years since the Labour Court recommendation was issued. I also remind him that two thirds of this House voted in favour of that recommendation. Moreover, the last time I raised this matter, the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection said the Government would sort it. Ten years later I must ask when the Government will sort it.
