Leave for South African sporting tours
Quinn asked whether semi-State employers would be directed to withhold leave for South African tours; the Minister said Government policy would be implemented.
Can the Minister indicate whether the Government will issue a directive to the semi-State sector to withhold leave of absence from people who may wish to participate in South African tours?
Comment on this
In relation to our association of sport organisations, I have been in constant communication with the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Education who is involved in this area. I am quite satisfied that he, as an agent of Government policy, will implement the aims referred to in my answer.
