What happened
Opposition parties have stated they will not cross any picket line at Leinster House if public sector workers go on strike next week. This industrial action is part of a dispute over a new public sector pay deal, with teachers and other workers scheduled to strike on October 14th.

Why it matters
The potential industrial action could impact Dáil proceedings. If the strike disrupts the legislative process, the Parliamentary Budget Office might see its ability to perform independent budgetary scrutiny hindered.
