Rabbitte welcomes resolution of ESB dispute

Energy Minister, Pat Rabbitte, this evening said:

I welcome the resolution of the pensions dispute at the ESB and offer my thanks and the appreciation of the Government to the LRC and Mr Kevin Foley for their patient endeavour.

The settlement is unqualified good news at this critical juncture of the year and of the countries economic recovery.

Unions and management deserve credit for ending the uncertainty that threatened to do disproportionate damage to the countries best interests.
