What will the Government do about section 39 workers, who have been left behind for so long, regarding pay parity and conditions? They are about to strike shortly. They are calling for industrial action and I feel they have no choice but to do that because they have been promised for so long. These section 39 workers do Trojan work in Kerry around people with disabilities and all the other little problems they have. They do the very same work as section 38 workers but are not paid the same. It is not fair that two sections do the same work but one is paid less. These workers have been promised parity for so long. When will the Government honour the promise made here between 2016 and 2019?
