I propose to take Questions Nos. 424 and 450 together.

I am aware that the Labour Court recently issued a recommendation in respect of an industrial dispute at the school site referred to by the Deputy. I understand that both parties are currently engaged in talks and it would not be appropriate for me to comment any further at this stage.
