Chambers Ireland: Govt 'right to abandon' pay talks

Chambers Ireland have welcomed the decision of Government to walk away from the public sector pay talks.

Seán Murphy, Deputy Chief Executive of Chambers Ireland said: "The Government has taken the correct decision to abandon the pay talks as currently constituted.

"The Government now needs to move forward with real quantifiable cuts in the public service pay and pensions bill as part of its ongoing measures to close the gap in the public finances."
