Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Charitable and Voluntary Organisations (2 May 2024)

Colm Burke: Most of the funding for section 39 and section 56 organisations comes through the HSE. The funding for some of the programmes that employ people did not necessarily come through the HSE and therefore they fell outside the agreement that was reached under the WRC. It is my understanding there are further discussions on that issue and every effort is being made to resolve it. It affects a...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Charitable and Voluntary Organisations (2 May 2024)

Joan Collins: 7. To ask the Minister for Health the reason youth service workers employed through the City of Dublin ETB channel of funding in the drugs and alcohol task forces have not received the October 2023 WRC 8% pay rise or had their wages restored to pre-2009 cuts levels; and what detailed measures the Government is putting in place that pay rises are specifically accounted for in channels of...

Joan Collins: I ask why youth service workers employed through the City of Dublin Education and Training Board channel of funding in the drugs and alcohol task forces have not received the October 2023 WRC 8% pay rise or had their wages restored to pre-2009 cuts levels. What detailed measures is the Government putting in place so that pay rises are specifically accounted for in channels of funding?

Following many months of extensive negotiations in the WRC an agreement was reached in November 2023 which saw an increase in funding for pay of staff in section 39 organisations, as well as section 10 and section 56...

Joan Collins: That is interesting. I raised this issue on Leaders' Questions again a couple of weeks ago. The way the funding seems to operate with section 10, section 39 and section 56 organisations and all the private charitable status groups makes it difficult to see where an 80% increase in an area has to be met through existing funding. My understanding is the Department of Health has the funding....

Colm Burke: Officials from the Departments of Health and Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth, the HSE and Tusla were invited to attend a WRC process on 16 October 2023 following similar engagements with trade unions representing section 39 and section 56 bodies in recent months. Following productive engagements with the WRC, strike action was averted. This is a recognition of the...

Joan Collins: Pre-2009 and the crash, all these workers were linked in with public sector pay and got increases as public sector workers got their increases. That is my understanding from talking to people in the canal drugs task force and other task forces. That link was broken in 2009. I am sure the Minister of State will agree it is a serious issue that these workers have not had their pay restored...
