Bus Éireann pay dispute

Summary

Broughan asks the Government to address Bus Éireann workers’ threatened pay and conditions dispute urgently; the Tánaiste notes that the Labour Court has issued a recommendation.

Okay, that is good. As the Tánaiste is aware, Bus Éireann workers are facing significant cuts in their pay and conditions. Many of them believe they cannot accept the Labour Court recommendations.

The Deputy will have a chance to discuss this later.

Can the Tánaiste, as a member of the Government, ask the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, Deputy Varadkar, to address this matter urgently to avoid a withdrawal of the Bus Éireann fleet or obliging workers to resort to strike action?

Comment on this

The workplace relations Bill is due to be published this session. On the second matter, there is a Labour Court recommendation. The Labour Court has adjudicated on that matter.
