============================================================

Neale Richmond (FG), Dublin Rathdown

I fully agree with the Deputy. An efficient collective bargaining system is not just in the interest of the workers but also in the interest of the employers and, most importantly, the interest of the economy and society as a whole. We appreciate, and I agree with the Deputy, that 80% will be a challenge, but it is a challenge the Government is very much keen to rise to. The process has begun and, in due course, bringing in Members of the Oireachtas as part of that implementation process will be very important. I look forward to engaging with the Deputy on that in the future.
