Labour Court recommendations that relate to my Department are usually dealt with and recorded on a divisional rather than central basis. As a result, it has not been possible within the timeframe allowed to collate with absolute accuracy the information the Deputy is seeking in respect of my own Department. This is underway and will be sent directly to the Deputy when it becomes fully available. My officials may also seek clarification from the Deputy on the time period for which he seeks the information.

My Department would not have any information relating to Labour Court recommendations for other Departments. Further such information may be available from the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, as the Labour Court comes under the remit of his Department. Alternatively, such information may be available from the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform given its coordinating role for Departments generally.

I hope this clarifies the matter to some extent for the Deputy.
