Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

Following the ICTU Public Services Committee's rejection of the proposals put forward by the Labour Relations Commission on an extension to the Croke Park Agreement, my colleague, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, requested the LRC to engage with the public service unions to establish if there is any basis to conclude a negotiated agreement.

In light of this ongoing process, I do not think that it would be helpful for me to comment on specific proposals at this time.
