Fórsa: 'No credible reason' for Government delay on school staff strike resolution

Ireland’s largest public sector union has said there is “no credible reason” for a further delay to Government action to resolve an ongoing strike by school secretaries and caretakers.

Fórsa said it is calling on the Government to “act decisively” to bring the ongoing industrial action, which commenced last week at the beginning of the new school term, to a close.
