asked the Minister for Finance if his Department have yet reached a decision on the application for a sick-pay scheme for manual employees of the Office of Public Works.
Ceisteanna — Questions. Oral Answers. - Sick-Pay Scheme for Board of Works Employees.
73.
I would refer the Deputy to my reply to a question by him on 15th February last.
I have now received the report of the Interdepartmental Wages Advisory Committee and hope to be able to give a decision in the matter shortly.
Would the Minister agree to send a copy to the Minister for Lands so that he will know what is happening in regard to the Interdepartmental Wages Advisory Committee?
The Deputy must not blame the Minister for Lands. I must take overall responsibility for this. He cannot do anything until I let him.
Surely the Minister should move a little faster?
Perhaps I should.
