There is a fresh chance that the strikes could be called off
There's a glimmer of hope that Thursday's public sector strike could now be avoided.
Fresh pay talks will get underway this morning.
Meanwhile a work-to-rule by rank and file Gardai has been called off.
Plans for a large scale public sector strike slated to take place on Thursday are at an advanced stage - with rallies scheduled for eight locations across the country.
However now there is a fresh chance that could be called off, as its confirmed another round of negotiations to secure a new national pay deal will begin today.
The WRC talks come after intensive engagements between government, unions and an independent body continued into the early hours of this morning.
Today's renewed negotiations are centred on a 10 and a half per cent wage hike between now and the start of 2029.
