Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

I know this is an area Deputy Brady has an active interest in. I would say, as he said, that Mr. Ultan Courtney was engaged by the Local Government Management Agency, LGMA, at, I think, the behest of SIPTU. There were many facilitation discussions and I am told good progress was made, including progress on the provision of a revised model of retained fire service delivery that would provide for both effective service delivery and a suitable work-life balance, including structured time off. Mr. Courtney was not able to reach a positive conclusion to the satisfaction of all parties. We now need to see real and meaningful engagement.
