Labour Court recommends enough hours for two Dublin Castle standby constables

The Labour Court recommended that the Office of Public Works make every effort to provide two standby relief constables with enough working hours to limit potential income loss. It said a public-sector recruitment and promotion moratorium restricted recommendations on filling vacant posts. The Services Industrial Professional Technical Union sought permanent roles for the two workers at Dublin Castle, where they had worked in full-time roles for years. The recommendation was signed on 12 October 2011.
