The Minister has decided to move swiftly on the question of the Croke Park agreement. While I am sure the Minister's schedule is tight, I am sure she has been negotiating with the unions behind the scenes on achieving change for many long months. Change is here at last. I ask the unions and employees to outline what the Croke Park agreement means to them and how it can deliver a modern, adaptable service that will safeguard front-line services. We are all watching with interest to see how this happens.
