Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 17 June 2014
399. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Arts, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the number of cases before the Labour Court, Equality Tribunal, CPSA and EAT involving civil servants taking cases against his Department; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25633/14]
View answerThere are currently three cases before the Employment Appeals Tribunal involving my Department. One of these cases involves a currently employed civil servant whilst the remaining two cases involve former civil servants. My Department is defending all three claims that have been made. Where any disputes arise with staff in relation to employment issues, my Department seeks to resolve these internally, however, it is open to any employee to seek redress through the State’s formal dispute resolution processes.
