560. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the status of industrial processes established in his area under side deals concluded with trade unions in parallel with the Lansdowne Road talks in May 2015; the details of any agreements concluded to date on foot of such processes; and the costs, including anticipated costs in future years, of any agreements reached.

View answerIn parallel with the Lansdowne Road talks, the Local Government Sector agreed to look at the question of the payment of fees for apprenticeships and also to review the pay and conditions of the General Operatives in the Dublin Authorities in relation to those applying to general operatives nationwide. Both of these issues have been referred to the normal industrial relations mechanism operating within the sector and are under consideration at the moment. Issues relating to the civil service sector are a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform.
