Leaders' Questions (4 Oct 2016)

Brendan Howlin: Does the Taoiseach accept that having individual talks with individual unions is an invitation for further unions to be more confrontational and would be very destabilising for the industrial relations backdrop, which is so essential given that we have had industrial peace in the public services for the past five years? I have not tabled any suggestion for the old social dialogue that...

Leaders' Questions (4 Oct 2016)

Brendan Howlin: In recent weeks, industrial unrest has begun to increase. What started with the Luas workers spread to Dublin Bus drivers.

Leaders' Questions (28 Sep 2016)

Brendan Howlin: This is a real point of anxiety for the most vulnerable people in the country. The Taoiseach can allay that anxiety by telling us there will be a Supplementary Estimate. It has nothing to do with next year's budget and nothing to do with the budgetary process because the payment will be made in this calendar year and accrue on this year's accounts. That is how it works, as the Taoiseach...

Leaders' Questions (28 Sep 2016)

Brendan Howlin: Over the last couple of years, as the Taoiseach will remember, we started work to restore the Christmas bonus to families in receipt of social welfare payments.

It has always been, from its inception, paid by way of Supplementary Estimate. That was the way it was paid for last year and that is the way it has been paid for since we restored it. We brought in a Supplementary Estimate, the Taoiseach will recall, and negotiated for €197...
