‹ An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business Public service pay talks
Summary
Deputy Farrell called for a pay agreement recognising nurses, gardaí and other public servants. The Taoiseach said the public pay talks were ongoing and the Government was trying to reach a conclusion.
I remember when we clapped in this Chamber for our front-line workers. That recognition was important but it is not sufficient. We know that the pay talks recently broke down and the unions are up for the negotiation. The Taoiseach said that he is also up for that negotiation. Will he commit to concluding an agreement with the unions that recognises the important work done by nurses, gardaí and civil and public servants?
