Louise O'Reilly (SF), Dublin Fingal

They are not agreed.
Yesterday Fórsa, SIPTU and the INMO announced three weeks' notice of their intention to take industrial action in the voluntary and community sector. They have been in discussions to resolve this dispute for years. This matter is now incredibly urgent for service users and for their families who rely on these agencies for supports, day services and respite services, basic interventions that keep their families going. The Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform needs to come into the House to outline what steps he has taken to resolve the looming strike. We need to debate this on the floor of the Dáil. I am asking for time to be put aside for this important debate. Thousands of families are going to be impacted.
