Other Questions: Public Private Partnerships Data (2 Jul 2015)

Seán Fleming: I thank the Minister for his response. He has indicated that he will make any change that might be required to the FEMPI legislation to facilitate the latest public sector pay agreement. However, he is saying, on the one hand, that we are still in a financial emergency and, on the other, that we can give pay increases to public servants. I agree with the latter but not the former. The...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Lansdowne Road Agreement (2 Jul 2015)

Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Lansdowne Road Agreement (2 Jul 2015)

Seán Fleming: My understanding from the Minister's reply is that it was coincidental that these discussions occurred at the time the Lansdowne Road agreement was being negotiated.
