Childcare workers are rejecting pay offers from employer groups, despite the government setting aside 45 million euros to boost wages. Employers say they can’t afford the increases without raising fees—something blocked by current funding rules. Union reps argue the proposals don’t even use the full government budget and warn it could be returned if no deal is made. With staff on the front lines and managers caught in the middle, Siptu’s calling for renewed negotiations to fix low pay and make sure every euro helps those who care for our kids.

Irish police are exploring a bold new tactic: using live feeds from private security cameras to crack down on crime, from drug deals to theft. They’ve launched a public consultation—open until September 14—to gather input from the Minister for Justice and key oversight bodies, balancing public safety with privacy rights. With impact assessments and input from data protection and human rights commissions, they’re aiming to responsibly integrate this tech to better serve communities without overstepping boundaries.

An Irish judge has called on the Law Society to assign lawyers to defendants during a strike by criminal defense solicitors, arguing that legal representation is essential—just like medical cover during staff shortages. But Law Society president Rosemarie Loftus firmly rejected the request, stressing her organization lacks legal authority to appoint solicitors and that such responsibility belongs to the State. The crisis erupted when a remand prisoner at Ireland’s busiest custody court was left unrepresented after his case escalated, as most solicitors walked out over pay disputes. While the judge condemned the Law Society’s inaction as regrettable and underscored the State’s duty to ensure access to justice, Loftus affirmed her body supports legal aid but insists it’s not their role to manage individual cases.

Ireland’s HSE has refused to fund it due to uncertainty over its effectiveness, sparking fierce political pressure from both parties and patient advocates.
