Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am aware of the ongoing dispute. I understand the people concerned are employees of education and training boards. An industrial relations process must be followed and negotiations have to occur. I am not exactly sure at what point they are at, but I will endeavour to get more information from the Ministers for Education, and Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform and come back to the Deputy today or next week.
