The Labour Court recommended that Dublin City Council, the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union and the Irish Municipal, Public and Civil Trade Union hold further discussions on a proposed compensation scheme for firefighters assaulted by third parties at work. The recommendation was signed on 20 January 2014. The unions argued firefighters should be covered by a scheme, citing similar arrangements for Gardaí and Prison Officers. Dublin City Council raised concerns about the proposal and said the issue should be addressed nationally. The Court recommended discussions on the scheme’s scope, legal status, cost, funding and administration, among other issues.
