Earlier, when referring to the proposed strike action on the part of nurses, the Taoiseach indicated that he was not aware of any Government failing to implement a Labour Court recommendation. In 2008, the Labour Court made a recommendation that FÁS supervisors be paid pensions. That decision was endorsed by a Dáil Private Members' Bill last year, when a more than two thirds majority voted in favour of implementing the Labour Court recommendation. When will the Government honour that Labour Court recommendation, honour the Taoiseach's commitment today and pay FÁS supervisors their pensions, which are much deserved and long overdue?

In that case, the State is not the employer. The employers of these supervisors are charities, NGOs and private bodies. It is, unfortunately, one of those areas - there are quite a number across the public service - in which the Government is not the employer but instead funds, or is the major funder of, the body that employs the people.

That was not the Labour Court recommendation.

I read that because I was Minister for Social Protection for a while. The State is not the employer in that case.
