On 19th July 2012, the Labour Court issued a Recommendation in relation to sick leave provisions that apply in Government Departments and Offices. I understand that the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform, as the coordinating Department for matters such as these, will shortly issue a circular to my Department and others in which revised sick leave provisions, in compliance with the Recommendation, will be clarified. It would be my Department’s intention to ensure that the provisions of this circular are communicated to all agencies under its aegis. I am not aware of any other Labour Court recommendations in relation to my Department that fall to be implemented but if the Deputy has any specific instance in mind, I would be happy to follow up on the matter.
