The Deputy is right that it impacts disability services. It also impacts section 56 services providing services to Tusla. The Government has recognised that the pay differential. We have committed to engaging in a process through the Workplace Relations Commission, WRC, to resolve that. That process is ongoing at the moment. My Department, the Department of Health, the HSE and Tusla have all been represented there. We are in the middle of a process which, I hope will have a positive outcome to allow these vital services to maintain and enhance their recruitment of staff.
