Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

In my Department, there have been no instances of where proposals to alter the roll-out of public services were delayed, postponed or abandoned as a result of non-cooperation by trade union representatives. The agencies of my Department are operationally independent and I have asked them to respond to directly to the deputy.
