🚶 Walkouts

Public sector unions are convening to discuss widening industrial action after the government failed to produce what they consider a credible pay offer. The move follows a period of stalled negotiations; it suggests that while the talks have stopped, the unions have no intention of doing the same. Graduates of the Portobello Institute have discovered that the Teaching Council will not allow them to register, leaving them unable to work in the profession they studied for. In Tralee, a 49-year-old man has appeared in court charged with murder following an incident at an accommodation centre for asylum seekers. The health service is reportedly failing to collect millions of euro in rebates owed by pharmaceutical companies. Elsewhere, mining firms have been told to listen to community objections as the sector prepares for a new era of exploration, and tributes continue for the Olympian Ciara Mageean ahead of her funeral tomorrow.
