Strike action set to take place in Kildare and across the country
Retained firefighters in Kildare are set to take to the picket lines next week.
It is after they and their colleagues across Ireland voted against recommendations by the Work Relations Commission to settle a dispute over pay and conditions.
Independent TD Seán Canney says a serious overhaul of the services is required.
Deputy Canney is calling on the government to play an active role in finding a solution to the current dispute.
