Minister for the Environment, Climate and Communications

Industrial relations such as those raised by the Deputy are operational matters in which I, as Minister, have no statutory function. ESB has informed my Department that the Network Technicians who are members of the Independent Workers Union (IWU) have decided to defer their industrial action as of 10 May.
