Over 300,000 workers will strike for 24-hours if progress is not made.

The Irish Congress of Trade Unions has announced plans for next week’s public sector strike day.

Rallies are due to be held in Cork, Dublin, Galway, Letterkenny, Limerick, Sligo, Tullamore and Waterford between midday and 2pm next Thursday.

Over 300,000 workers will strike for 24-hours if progress on the next public sector pay agreement is not made.

Unions are considering rolling strikes if a deal to agree the next public sector pay deal is not reached by next week.

Talks aimed at getting the government and unions to restart negotiations are continuing, ahead of a planned strike by public sector workers next Thursday.

The planned strike day coincides with a meeting of EU ministers in Dublin.
