Union: Meeting to decide role in Croke Park talks

After two days of negotiation, talks on Croke Park II are already in difficulty, with the country’s largest union claiming a meeting later this week will decide if unions walk away.

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation last night put a statement on its website from general secretary Liam Doran. In it, he told his 40,000 members that the Government side is to make sectoral presentations to unions tomorrow morning.

“In these presentations, it is expected that the management side will begin to elaborate on the high level agenda they initially presented at Monday’s meeting,” he said.
