Willie O'Dea (Limerick East, Fianna Fail)

The reply to Senator Terry's question is, unfortunately, "No". It is a matter which must be arrived at by mutual agreement, which obviously requires agreement by both sides. If one side, namely, the employer, does not agree, unfortunately, it cannot then happen. There is no appeal or other recourse, as I understand the situation.

Amendment agreed to.

Amendments Nos. 8 to 11, inclusive, not moved.
