‹ Order of Business Croke Park II ballot aftermath
Summary
Michael Moynihan asks when legislation will implement public-pay proposals after SIPTU’s rejection; the Taoiseach says the Government will assess the ballot and €300 million savings requirement.
In light of the fact that SIPTU has voted against Croke Park II, will the Taoiseach outline the legislative timeframe that will be required to implement the Government's public pay proposals?
Comment on this
The unions have made their decision. I am disappointed that it was not approved, but the Government must now consider the outcome and nature of the ballot and how we intend to deal with the requirement to achieve €300 million in savings this year. We will keep the House updated as the Government makes its decisions on that matter.
