4. Deputy Joan Collins asked the Taoiseach if timelines for pay restoration and WRC payments (details supplied) will be provided. [31327/24]

A process is ongoing with Section 39 organisations to ensure all employees can access their entitlements under the WRC agreement. As this process continues it has come to light that there are other community groups, who are funded through different pathways and although operating similarly, are not technically Section 39 organisations, such as local drug and alcohol taskforce groups, who have not been encompassed within the existing process. The Department of Health is aware of the issue and is working to resolve this matter in a timely manner.

The Minister for Health will issue a letter to the Deputy shortly updating her on these matters.
