In view of the impending industrial action in this area, what is the Government's position on implementing a 2009 directive of the Labour Court concluding that community employment supervisors should be paid pensions? I remind the Tánaiste that when I raised this recently, the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection attacked the Opposition. I remind the Tánaiste that his party has been in government for nine of the ten years since the Labour Court recommendation was issued. I also remind him that two thirds of this House voted in favour of that recommendation. Moreover, the last time I raised this matter, the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection said the Government would sort it. Ten years later I must ask when the Government will sort it.

As the Deputy knows, the perspective of the Government and the Department of Finance is that community employment supervisors are not employees of the State, even though their salaries are funded by the State.

That is official nonsense.

That means there is a different onus on the State in terms of pension entitlements. That is at the core of the issue.

The Government is not going to sort it, then.
