Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform

The particular organisation referred to by the Deputy is not registered as a political organisation on the current register of political parties in Ireland. It is therefore considered that no issue arises under the civil service conciliation and arbitration scheme in relation to the matter raised by the Deputy in respect of the civil service trade union concerned.
