My question is on the same topic. Perhaps the Taoiseach is not aware of the press statement from the Departments of Finance and Public Expenditure and Reform yesterday morning which specifically stated measures would be needed for the extension of the Croke Park agreement and that they would need to be underpinned by legislation.

Two Departments.

They are two sides of the same coin.

They stated yesterday that there would be legislation. The Taoiseach has stated the document will be considered by the trade unions and that they will then come back to the Government, but he has omitted to confirm to the Dáil that, according to the Departments, legislation is required. The agreement affects pay and conditions, flexitime arrangements, redeployment provisions and grade restructuring. Will we see legislation arising from the agreement-----

Yes.

Yes.

-----from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and the Department of Finance on pensions? Will we see legislation from the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation on employment rights? When will we see all of this legislation?

The Deputy will see the legislation dealing with changed pay rates after the unions have considered the matter.
