Employment Rights
Dail Éireann — 2026-04-23
============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

I ask the Minister to outline the progress in resolving the employment issues of personal assistants, an issue we have dealt with previously. He has met with me and a number of these personal assistants who work in ETBs and further and higher education centres. What is the timeline for when the issue is expected to be resolved? Will the Minister make a statement on that matter now? I am aware that a WRC proposal is in play but I am not sure there is absolute joy in relation to it. If he could give me an update, I will come back in then.
