Public Services Brought To A Standstill As More Than 300,000 Workers Strike

Public services across Ireland are facing widespread disruption as more than 300,000 public sector workers take part in a 24-hour strike over pay.

Nurses, doctors, teachers and civil servants are among those taking action amid delays in agreeing a new public sector pay deal.

Schools have closed and thousands of hospital appointments have been cancelled. It is the largest strike staged in Ireland in almost 20 years, with workers bringing their pay demands to picket lines across the country.
