171. To ask the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform the reason his Department refused to participate in the WRC Conciliation Conference on 19 May, especially given that there could not have been a resolution to the unpaid pay awards to health service senior managers without its key inputs; if his Department will now engage in the matter under the auspices of the WRC to agree a payment mechanism before discussions on the next public service pay agreement commence over the coming months, as requested by the WRC; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

My Department works closely with all Government Departments on industrial relations matters encompassed by the current public service Agreement, Building Momentum and will continue, to liaise with both the HSE and the Department of Health in relation to this matter, as appropriate.
As the matter is part of an ongoing industrial relations process it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time.
