‹ Questions on Promised Legislation Lansdowne Road talks
Summary
Deputy Sherlock asked whether the Government would begin talks on a successor to the Lansdowne Road agreement in line with SIPTU's deadline. The Tánaiste pointed to the Public Expenditure Minister's engagement with ICTU and said Health was also engaging unions.
Is the Tánaiste aware that today SIPTU announced it is setting a deadline for next Thursday to ballot its members on the reconvening of talks on a successor to the Lansdowne Road agreement? Is the Government agreeable to commencing those talks on the date announced?
