Summary of this debate

Auto-generated

I am committed to addressing the cost of disability and improving outcomes for people with a disability. The Indecon cost of disability report rightly indicated that different people have different costs of disability and that people with higher costs relating to their disability should receive greater support. The Citizens Information Board has informed my Department that SIPTU and the citizens information service employers group attended a further WRC process in February where the matter was referred to the Labour Court, a date for which has recently been set for 14 June.

There is the Minister, the Citizens Information Board and then the citizens information service. Even MABS, which is a sister company of the citizens information service funded through the Citizens Information Board, has received those pay increases.
