Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

The Deputy is correct in that I met representatives from Mandate and the shop stewards last week. I did say that we were going to activate a third-party intervention. We want the basis of that third-party intervention to be effective and, hopefully, achieve a resolution. I appeal to all parties concerned to give space to facilitate the intervention of a third party that might - I am not saying it will - effect a resolution to this long-running strike and situation for the women concerned.
