Ned O'Keeffe Mr. E. O'Keeffe Fianna Fáil

Is the Minister aware that his serious mishandling of the teachers' arbitration award will result in widespread industrial strife? What proposals has the Minister to solve this problem before there is disruption in our schools

It is relevant to the question before the House. I have asked very few supplementaries today and I consider this an important one. Will the Minister make a statement to the House on this matter.
