Episode Details

As the current public sector pay deal nears its end, trade unions gear up for negotiations, demanding wage increases above inflation. The government anticipates significant demands and plans to discuss a multi-year deal, potentially including remote work options and input on housing. The Taoiseach will address the Fórsa conference next week, as workers recently received a one percent wage bump. The last deal cost three billion six hundred million euros, and the budget surplus, though improved, is under pressure due to education overruns, EU presidency costs, and an extra public sector payday. Opposition calls for a mini-budget to ease living costs as negotiations intensify.
