Once this report is available, the Government intends to initiate negotiations on a successor to the Lansdowne Road Agreement. These negotiations will be between the Government as employer and the public service trade unions and representative associations on behalf of public service workers and will include public service remuneration issues pertaining to PDFORRA.
