Question 86: To ask the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if her attention has been drawn to the fact that, notwithstanding her recent confirmation that the Health Service Executive cannot impose pay cuts on employees of voluntary organisations, management at the County Wexford Community Workshop has informed its employees that there are to be pay cuts; if her further attention has been drawn to the fact that no discussions in relation to pay cuts have taken place between management and staff or their trade union representatives; her views on the way in which the remuneration of these workers, which is inferior to Health Service Executive pay rates, can be protected; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The County Wexford Community Workshop (CWCW) is an independent entity funded by a number of agencies including FÁS. The recent pay adjustments, as applied under the Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest (No. 2) Act 2009, do not apply to employees of entities such as the CWCW.
