A SIPTU official at Mayo County Council stated that workers are striking over pay due to a delay in a pay deal. The official linked the action to the cost-of-living crisis, noting that the average shopping basket has increased by over €50 in the past two years. The official warned that if the government does not respond, the strike will escalate next Wednesday.
