Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 30 May 2018
203. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport if there will be no changes to the terms and conditions of employment for SRD workers unless agreed through engagement with workers and their representatives (details supplied). [23842/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Government Decision to merge the regulatory and safety functions of the IAA’s Safety Regulation Division with the Commission for Aviation Regulation (CAR) will be done in accordance with established practice for structural reform processes within the Irish public sector. In any such process it is well established that the terms and conditions of existing workers will be no less favourable, unless by agreement.
I am mindful of the importance of the industrial relations component involved in any transitional arrangements involving the movement of personnel from one entity to another, and I can assure the Deputy that there will be regular engagement with the affected staff and their representative bodies throughout the reform process.
