An Post crisis deepens as talks fail

THE crisis at An Post escalated sharply late last night after a last ditch effort to find common ground between both sides failed.

Following close to six hours of intense talks with both sides Labour Relations Commission (LRC) chief executive Kieran Mulvey said there was no immediate possibility of a resolution.

"Both parties are not in a position to come to an understanding and agreement with regard to the issues in the dispute," he said.
