Union to discuss closure of Passport and Social Welfare offices

The ongoing row at the Passport Office is likely to feature top of the agenda at the annual delegate conference of the CPSU later.

It comes as the union issued its staff at the office with protective strike notice, in an escalation of the dispute which is resulting in huge delays in people getting their passports processed.

The passports office row and the decison to close social welfare offices from 1pm will feature highly as union members meet in Galway for their annual delegate conference.
