Industrial Relations
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-26
============================================================

Duncan Smith (LAB), Dublin Fingal

I apologise for being late and thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle for facilitating me.
This question relates to the Medical Laboratory Scientists Association, MLSA, industrial action. While I welcome the return to talks, I am interested to know what the Minister is going to do now in terms of engaging with the workers and their representatives. As the Minister knows, this is not over and we do not want it just to disappear back into the Workplace Relations Commission, WRC, and for the Minister to hope that it just goes away because it will not.
