Members of the largest public sector union in the country have called for the Government to factor-in the rising cost of living in upcoming new pay deals.
The Forsa conference is meeting in Killarney this week and the 700 delegates there passed a series of motions calling for higher wages to match the soaring cost of living.
One motion called for a pay rise across the board of 6%, while another one looking for a 30% hike was withdrawn.
