College industrial dispute resolved ahead of CAO offers

AN industrial dispute at Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) left students unable to make phone or email inquiries about points requirements at the college over the past two days.

The row over commitments in relation to outsourcing of work and other issues under the Towards 2016 social partnership agreement was resolved yesterday afternoon.

About 115 members of the IMPACT trade union began industrial action on Thursday morning, following two weeks’ notice to management at the college.
