Written answers

I refer the Deputy to the response I issued in relation to question No. 282 of 20th March, 2013 in which I stated that, in line with normal and longstanding industrial relations practice, a number of letters clarifying aspects of the Labour Relation Commission (LRC) proposals were issued to member unions of the Public Service Committee of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions by the Labour Relations Commission (LRC) and by sectoral management as appropriate. It is a common and longstanding feature of collective agreements to clarify points of understanding or agreement in this way. It has never been the practice to publish such letters of clarification.
