An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Jun 2019)

Brendan Howlin: It is not agreed. It is my honest belief that the Government is running the risk of destroying its own and the State's reputation as an honest broker regarding the public sector. In view of the potential strike tomorrow, would it be possible for us to have statements on this issue today at some time and will the Business Committee give some consideration to that?
