Retained Firefighters Consider Recommendations Aimed At Ending Long Running Dispute

In June 2023, retained firefighters took part in strike action demanding better pay and conditions.

Most counties in Ireland operate fire services on a retained basis, meaning firefighters are paid a retainer and carry pagers in order to respond to calls.

Last October, members voted 55% against a pay deal put forward by the Workplace Relations Commission.

Brendan O'Brien from SIPTU says some progress has been made since then.
