We must now deal with amendment No. 3 in the name of the Sinn Fein Deputies.
Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein)

I move amendment No. 3:
To delete all words after “calls on the Government to” and substitute the following:“— engage with the INMO and the PNA to resolve the dispute and to ensure that any strike action has minimal impact on services for vulnerable patients;
— recognise and acknowledge that pay is a significant factor in the recruitment and retention crisis gripping the nursing and midwifery professions and confirm that pay will form part of any resolution to this dispute;
— agree an implementation roadmap with the relevant unions regarding how nurses will achieve pay parity with comparable grades in the health service; and
— commission (while recognising, in particular, clause 3 of the Public Service Stability Agreement, and the Public Sector Pay Commission Report) an independent review, to be led by a judge or healthcare expert agreed to by the unions relevant to this dispute, of the nursing and midwifery professions, to report within six weeks, taking account of the introduction of the nursing degree programme, the extra specialities and extended duties that have evolved and that can be further enhanced, as well as examining the remuneration, contracts, and allowances for same, with a view to addressing the chronic recruitment and retention issues and with a definitive timeframe for the implementation of any recommendations made.”

As amendment No. 3 has been agreed, amendment No. 2 cannot be moved. However, the question to the effect that the motion, as amended, be agreed to remains to be considered.
