Labour Court fails to reach agreement in Irish Ferries dispute

There was no agreement reached at today's Labour Court hearing into the Irish Ferries dispute.

The ferry line has said that they will re-enter talks with SIPTU based on issues relating to the redundancies.

They are stressing that they company needs this cost cutting or will have to close.

However, SIPTU and Irish Ferry workers claim the company will exploit the foreign workers they want to draft in and deny that the job cuts are necessary.
