Listening to @HMcEntee on @RTENewsAtOne and her statement that everything including pension parity would be on the table in a talks process, it would be useful for some direct contact with @forsa_union_ie to see if there's a sufficient basis to suspend the strike pending talks.

And the school picket lines across the country begin. Will the government resolve the crisis? Will they do the right thing? Decades of injustice have to end. This is too serious, for our members and our school communities. #PensionParity now!

Speaking today at the unveiling of a plaque in honour of the first female civil servant, Jeanie Nassau Senior, FDA President @haig_margaret says Nassau Senior “spoke truth to power, championing the values we still defend as a civil service union today: integrity, honesty, objectivity and impartiality.”

€7.41 an hour. That’s all a first year construction apprentice is paid. More than one in 10 apprentices is aged over 31 years, almost 40% are 23 or older. If you want housing fixed you need to get behind @ConnectUnion calls for the minimum wage to cover apprentices @SaturdayRTE

“Scaling back EDI staff would likely leave departments exposed to challenges around discrimination... eroding any potential cost savings while making the civil service a much worse place to work.” - @LucilleThirlby bylinetimes.com/2025/05/30/n…

A relatively small spend on diversity and inclusion helps to make sure the civil service is an organisation that people can be proud of, @FDAGenSec tells @ThatAlexWoman.
