If Senator Divine would like to engage with me on the Mandate trade union and the Dunnes dispute, I am happy to do so. I worked closely with the Mandate trade union, which had a path beaten to my door to try to ensure that the collective bargaining legislation, which it is now availing of to prosecute its case, was introduced in a timely fashion, and it was. I have a very strong relationship with that trade union dating back a long number of years before Senator Divine entered public life or expressed an interest in the conditions of working people in this country.
