Prison officers are moving closer to industrial action in a dispute over pay.
Their union says members could be balloted for strike action unless there's significant progress in talks with the Government.
The Prison Officers' Association says its National Executive Council will meet today to consider the next steps in the pay dispute.
It's expected to recommend a national ballot for industrial action, up to and including strike action, unless negotiations with the Government make significant progress.
The union says prison officers' pay has failed to keep pace with the rising cost of living, while members continue to work in increasingly difficult conditions, citing overcrowding, violence and the widespread presence of drugs in prisons.
