Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

As I stated yesterday, we should be very cautious in what we say about the nurses' dispute but I would urge, in so far as is possible, both sides to get around the negotiating table and utilise the industrial relations mechanisms which exist to resolve the difficulty. There is no doubt that issues, to which I will not refer, must be addressed. They are on the public record.

I fully agree with Senator Jim Walsh in his comments regarding An Bord Pleanála. I realise we are running out of time and we have had a number of debates on planning, but the only thing consistent about An Bord Pleanála is its inconsistency.
