Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

It is not agreed. On 17 October, workers in section 39, section 56 and section 10 agencies will be taking industrial action. As the Taoiseach and I know, this is the last thing they want to do. It is very much the last thing that service users and their families want to happen. Can we put time aside this week to discuss that dispute? The families are watching this debate and feel like they are being ignored. We cannot let the two weeks that are left go without us having an intervention. We need to make time for a debate.
