Three more days of public transport worker strikes in Northern Ireland planned
The Tories are impoverishing public services in Northern Ireland and the frontline workers who deliver them. “Public transport workers should not have to take strike in the mouth of Christmas. I commend those transport workers taking strike action against a real-terms pay cut and cuts to our public services.”A Northern Ireland Office spokesperson responded saying: “The UK Government has no authority to negotiate pay in Northern Ireland. “It remains the Secretary of State’s priority to see the return of locally elected, accountable and effective devolved government, which is the best way for Northern Ireland to be governed. “The Secretary of State has commissioned a range of information and advice from the Northern Ireland Civil Service on potential measures to raise more public revenue, or otherwise to improve the sustainability of public finances in Northern Ireland, for an incoming executive to consider.”

But back to my initial dilemma: who gets how much of my hard-earned dough; there’s so much real need out there.
