The European Political Community (EPC) Summit is set to take place in Dublin on Thursday, 12 November. The event, which brings together EU leaders and officials, is expected to address key political issues. However, reports suggest that the lack of derogations for striking staff could lead to significant disruption during the summit.
The summit will be held at the National Convention Centre in Dublin. Organisers have not yet confirmed whether the event will proceed as planned despite potential staff action. The absence of derogations means that public sector workers, including those in transport and security, may not be allowed to strike. This has raised concerns among union representatives who argue that the decision could affect the smooth operation of the summit.
This situation follows a series of disputes between the Irish government and public sector unions over working conditions and pay. The EPC Summit is a major political event, and any disruption could impact diplomatic discussions and the overall effectiveness of the gathering. The outcome of the summit will depend on how the potential strike issue is resolved in the coming days.
