That is the reason for the negotiations which have been concluded successfully to this point by the TUI and the INTO, with benefits for their respective members.

Leaders' Questions (18 Oct 2016)

Enda Kenny: A number of trade unions had particular difficulties with the existing Lansdowne Road agreement, including the TUI, the INTO and some of the nursing fraternity. The agreements were reached and the progress which has been made is fairly significant but others still have difficulties. I accept that there has to be a successor to the Lansdowne Road agreement.
