Fianna Fáil 'not going there' as it vows to keep preferential pensions deal for State employees

A major divide between public and private sector workers has emerged as Fianna Fáil has vowed not to end a preferential deal for State employees if elected to office.

The party said it was “not going there” when asked if it would seek to end the inequity whereby public workers get a supplementary payment until the state pension kicks in.
