Unions are threatening a day of nationwide strikes and rallies on Thursday
Unions are being told the government's latest pay offer is “take it or leave it”.
Talks resume later in a bid to reach a public sector pay deal.
It's understood the offer includes a wage increase of 10.5 per cent over the next two and a half years, more for lower-paid public servants and a back payment for this year of €1,200 or 2 per cent- whichever is higher.
Unions are threatening a day of nationwide strikes and rallies on Thursday – when more than 50 world leaders are due in Dublin.
