LRC given more time to broker agreement on Croke Park II

The Labour Relations Commission has been given until next week to try and negotiate some kind of settlement with unions over the extension to the Croke Park public service pay agreement.

It comes after the chief executive of the LRC Kieran Mulvey met the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform last night to ask for more time to engage with unions, especially those who rejected the deal three weeks ago.
