Gibraltar visit and pay policy
The Leader said a visit by Gibraltar’s Chief Minister is a CPP matter and then moved on to explain that the pay dispute raised by Ó Clochartaigh is a local matter within national pay policy.
-----and is doing a first-class job.
Senator Feighan raised the issue of a visit by Mr. Picardo, the Chief Minister of Gibraltar, to the House. It is a matter for the Committee on Procedure and Privileges, CPP. I would be happy to have him come to the House. It is important that he do so. Senator Richmond referred to this as well.
The matter Senator Ó Clochartaigh raised regarding the payment and conditions of staff is a matter for consideration at a local level. There is a prescribed rate of pay. I suggest Senator Ó Clochartaigh take it up with the Minister as a Commencement matter.
