Unions accuse Govt of scaremongering over Croke Park II

Unions against Croke Park II claim the Government is "scaremongering" by claiming that time is running out and it should be accepted.

The four leading unions against the extension to the public sector agreement are holding a meeting in Dublin this evening, to explain to members what the new proposals mean.

It was organised by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, the Irish Medical Association, Unite and the Garda Representative Association.

Liam Doran from the INMO has said the new deal unfairly penalises people on lower incomes and women in particular.
