Eoghan Kenny (LAB), Cork North-Central

The Tánaiste will be well aware that last night SNAs overwhelmingly voted to reject the proposed SNA workforce development plan. I understand Fórsa's education divisional executive committee will meet next Wednesday, 8 July. I accept what the Minister, Deputy Naughton, said about there being significant stakeholder engagement on the creation of this workforce development plan but the reality is that SNAs do not accept it. One of the core issues is the 72-hour obligation on SNAs. I suspect that this issue forms part of the reason for the rejection of the plan. My question is fairly simple. What now?
