Will we benefit from the upcoming legislation on upward only rent reviews? Will the Leader look into that?

We need a mature debate on the Croke Park Agreement 2012 as opposed to the Croke Park Agreement when it was negotiated in 2009-10 because we are living in a completely different environment. We must look at every element of government and micro-manage all aspects of the public sector. I suggest respectfully that the Croke Park Agreement should be examined to see if there is a way to ensure more cost savings and greater efficiencies. I look forward to taking part in that discussion.

I suggest also that it would be no harm to organise a session in which we bring in the social partners to get their up-to-date perspectives on the Croke Park Agreement.
