There was no industrial action in my Department or its agencies except for that in FÁS.

A number of work stoppages were undertaken by SIPTU members in FÁS in relation to the inclusion of a relocation clause in promotion contracts in the context of the decentralisation of FÁS Head Office to Birr. These included two 2 hour stoppages, one 4 hour stoppage and one full day stoppage. The total number of working days lost was approximately 456.
