Both sides attended court on Monday but there was no suggestion of breakthrough on dispute
On Monday, Siptu’s Karan O Loughlin said 'both sides argued their position and the court will take a few days to consider everything and will issue a recommendation that has the best chance of resolving the dispute'. Photograph: Leah Farrell/RollingNews.ieThe Labour Court is expected to issue a recommendation in the dispute involving about 2,000 retained firefighters next week after both sides attended talks on Monday.
The court had intervened ahead of last Tuesday’s scheduled strike action and initial talks led to Monday’s formal engagement. The dispute involved a number of issues including structured time and calls for increased earnings, both of which Siptu argues are required in order to address severe recruitment and retention challenges being faced by the service, which is the primary provider of fire services outside of the bigger urban centres.
The Local Government Management Association had suggested progress had been made on rostering and staff numbers but made it clear during earlier talks that it was not in a position to make any offer on pay that breached the terms of the wider public service agreement.
