SIPTU criticise Government for announcing judiciary pay increase when health workers were on strike

SIPTU divisional organiser Paul Bell has criticised the Government for its political judgment in announcing an increase in wages for the judiciary on the same day that lower paid public servants were on strike.
"Monies were found to pay high levels of salaries on a day when low paid we're trying to get a pay increase that had already been agreed," he told RTE radio's Today with Sean O'Rourke show.
