asked the Minister for Social Welfare if he proposes introducing a five-day week for home assistance officers in the Dublin area.

I am having the matter examined and I am hopeful that a decision will be reached shortly.
Would the Parliamentary Secretary indicate whether the decision will be favourable or otherwise?
As I understand the position, negotiations with regard to the introduction of the five-day week have almost been concluded. For that reason I do not think it would be helpful for me to give any indication. I do not think it would be helpful to either side, and I think the Deputy will accept that.
