The announcement comes after pay talks with the government at the Workplace Relations Commission reached an impasse last week

There will be another nationwide public sector strike on the 12th of November.

A rally will also be held in Dublin, alongside other regional demonstrations, to mark the latest escalation in the pay deal dispute.

The announcement comes after pay talks with the government at the Workplace Relations Commission reached an impasse last week.

It is likely to cause school closures and disruption to health and other services as teachers, nurses, civil servants and other public service workers take to the picket lines.

The work stoppage will coincide with the European Political Community summit.

Unions will also discuss intensifying the current work-to-rule action and further industrial action beyond 12th November.
