The child and family agency, Tusla, has written to the managers of family resource centres around the country warning that services must be continued during a strike proposed for next week.

The family resource centre (FRC) network, which provides services for 30,000 people, is one of 18 agencies planning a day of action on October 17 in protest at unequal pay and conditions.
