The Executive Council of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions has agreed to reconvene at a later date in order continue its discussions on the Fiscal Compact and the proposed referendum.
At today's meeting the Executive Council heard a number of presentations on the key issues, including from economist Karl Whelan and from Bernadette Segol, the General Secretary of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), to which Congress is affiliated.
Executive Council members agreed that a detailed briefing paper would be drawn up on Fiscal Compact and the proposed referendum, which would be used to inform and shape debate across the trade union movement.
No date has yet been set for the convening of another meeting.
