Trade Minister urges unions to accept Croke Park deal

Trade and Commerce Minister Billy Kelleher is today warning unions to step back and think about the alternatives of not accepting the public sector pay and reform deal.

The Croke Park Agreement is now in serious trouble with six unions and representative bodies already rejecting the proposals.

Two crucial union meetings take place later today which could decide its the future.

SIPTU and the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation will reveal which way they are urging their members to vote on the proposals.
