What happened
The Taoiseach expressed frustration over ongoing strike action affecting the Oireachtas. The Oireachtas is preparing for major disruption over the next two weeks, having already lost two days to industrial action. The strike involves approximately 300,000 public sector workers who are demanding a more meaningful pay offer from the government.

Why it matters
The industrial action has led to the cancellation of Dáil business, as opposition TDs refused to allow a picket to pass. While Budget 2027 included €1.2 billion for a new public sector pay deal, the dispute continues because unions feel the government's offer is insufficient.
The Dáil will not sit in Leinster House following the ongoing strike action.
