Fianna Fáil has called on Government to "show leadership" on the escalating public service pay crisis by outlining a clear plan for how to address growing strike threats today, writes Fiachra O Cionnaith, Political reporter.

The opposition party's public expenditure spokesperson Dara Calleary (pictured) made the comment as he said his own party is open to listening to union "proposals" to increase public sector pay and may be willing to see negotiations "happen faster" than planned.
