View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 608 and 619 together.
I am currently engaging with representatives of Community Employment supervisors to discuss issues arising following the 2008 Labour Court Recommendation. All parties to this process have agreed that the detail of the discussions should remain confidential while the engagement is ongoing. I would ask Deputies to respect these wishes and allow the talks to continue free from speculation which might prove unhelpful at this stage.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
