Industrial action by 300,000 workers has been paused after a last-minute intervention by the Taoiseach. Unions agreed to suspend the strike planned for next Wednesday, returning to the negotiating table just as the walkouts threatened to paralyze national services.
The courts are currently occupied by the fallout of several long-running disputes. Solicitor Ammi Burke is seeking reinstatement after being dismissed without a formal process in 2019, while retailers on Dublin's O’Connell Street have begun receiving legal notices as part of a city-led review of the capital's main thoroughfare.
A series of murder investigations and guilty pleas have kept the focus on violent crime, including the discovery of a body in Mallow and a fatal shooting in Dún Laoghaire. In Waterford, the death of a family has led to demands for a specific crackdown on drug-related intimidation.
