A Clare firefighter fears irreparable damage will be done to the service unless the Government urgently resolves a pay dispute.
It's after SIPTU and the LGMA held a meeting at the Workplace Relations Commission last night after part-time firefighters were offered a maximum increase of €750 to their annual €8,000 retainer. Between January and April, Clare's firefighters responded to 400 emergency calls, with 60% of the force made up of retained personnel. Killaloe Fire Station Shop Steward Edward Moloney says the matter needs to be resolved once and for all.
