Marie Sherlock (LAB), Dublin Central

While I welcome that section 39 talks will recommence, will the Taoiseach commit to pay parity for section 39 workers and workers in the same roles in section 38 organisations in this country? In its general election manifesto, Fianna Fáil said that, if in government, it would aim to achieve pay parity with the public sector for section 39 staff. Fine Gael said the exact same. I am asking the Taoiseach a straight question. Does he still stand by that or has the position changed? Is he going to once and for all end the insult to these workers or is he going to break that promise to the people?
