The Labour Court recommended that Irish Ferries and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union review the Permanent Health Insurance scheme and share the agreed premium equally between management and employees. The recommendation was dated 4 November 1993. The dispute concerned who should pay increased premiums after the scheme’s rate rose to 1.6% of salary, with each side contributing 0.8%. The Court said the cost of maintaining the existing scheme was prohibitive and called for a joint review, including alternative quotations.
