Impact conference debates Irish pay accord‏

The Impact executive had initially opposed the deal but its recent policy somersault - in recommending a ‘yes’ vote in its forthcoming ballot of members - is likely to be critical in securing support for the so called Croke Park deal which has divided down the middle the Irish public sector unions.
