One-day strike at Central Bank today
Friday, 27 November 2009 17:10
Up to 600 members of the Unite trade union staged a strike at the Central Bank and the Office of the Financial Regulator today.
The union says the one-day dispute is due to the frustration at management's withdrawal from talks over employment contracts. It claims this is a breach of existing arrangements.
Pickets were placed all day on the Central Bank in Dame Street and at the Office of the Financial Regulator on College Green in Dublin city centre. Pickets were also placed at the Central Bank's currency centre in Sandyford.

The Central Bank, which has over 1,000 employees, said the strike would not affect the normal retail business of Irish banks. The bank said it regretted any inconvenience to the public.
