Approach to resolving industrial disputes
Fitzpatrick argued that the usual mechanisms for settling strikes had failed and asked whether the Minister would consider a fresh approach. The Chair treated it as a separate question; Mitchell also gave notice of his intention to raise Question No. 2 on the Adjournment.
(Cavan-Monaghan): In the course of his reply the Minister stated that the ordinary services had been employed to settle these strikes. Would the Minister not agree that it is quite apparent that what he calls the normal services for dealing with these strikes have broken down completely? Has he any proposals for bringing some sort of fresh approach to these matters?

On a point of order, I wish to give notice of my intention to raise Question No. 2 on the Adjournment.
