I would be obliged if Mr. Dunning could do that. I am conscious of the time, a Chathaoirligh, but I have a couple of questions for Mr. O'Keeffe if I can continue.

Another issue which has been raised by others, most particularly the National Womens Council of Ireland, is the absolute lack of women -...

I am zeroing in on women but there are other diversity issues which need to be addressed. However, as women are the majority of the population, this aspect of the matter needs to be straightened out.

Mary Lou McDonald: I understand the Taoiseach has asked the Labour Relations Commission to engage again with the trade unions a week after Croke Park II was decisively rejected by workers. At the same time, his Government is moving forward Estimates which include these pay cuts for front-line workers as a done deal. For this new process to have any chance of success there must be a real policy shift in the...
- Leaders' Questions (23 Apr 2013)
Mary Lou McDonald: Will this be an inclusive negotiation? Will all parties be invited back to the table? I have in mind in particular the gardaí, the nurses, the emergency personnel and other front-line workers, some of whom were excluded from the process towards the end of the negotiation of the Croke Park II deal.

Mary Lou McDonald: I asked the Taoiseach a series of questions. He did not answer any of them, with the exception of one. He is making it clear that Croke Park II is still on the table, and I can only take from his answers that he has asked the LRC to engage with unions and workers on that basis. Obviously, the Taoiseach hopes there can be some face-saving or tweaking of this agreement. I would not share...
- Leaders' Questions (23 Apr 2013)
Mary Lou McDonald: The Taoiseach has asked the LRC to talk to the unions to see if there is room for a negotiation on the outcome of the agreement. What exactly does that mean? Is he asking it to test the ground with the unions to see whether they can run the vote again? Is that the Taoiseach's thinking? Given that he is hell-bent on finding this €300 million, why does the Taoiseach put himself in a...
