Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

As usual, the Deputy's feet are on the ground and she is engaged with the communities across her county. She raised a fair point in terms of cost-of-living issues for service providers, such as BEAM Services and the Cairdeas and Delta centres. In the context of a cost-of-living approach by the Government, we will examine what we can do for the sector.
We are aware of the issue of pay disparity.
There was a resolution of that some years back, or at least a partial resolution. Some of the bigger organisations like SIPTU had arrived at agreements with the Government but there are still obviously concerns in regard to the disparity between smaller organisations.
