As of this morning the rolling closures of fire stations will begin again. SIPTU say it’s because of management’s refusal in most counties to accept their contingency plan for emergency cover. The dispute is over pay, conditions and working hours.
See below the full details of where the closures will be:
Friday – New Ross, Gorey
Saturday – Wexford, Bunclody
Sunday – Enniscorthy, Gorey
Monday – New Ross, Bunclody
Tuesday – Wexford, Enniscorthy
Wednesday – Bunclody, New Ross
Thursday – Gorey, Wexford
Any emergency fire calls for closed stations will be taken by next nearest brigade. SIPTU say “if the local authority accept the terms of our emergency cover plan while on strike it will immediately stop the closures.”
