The Irish Federation of University Teachers are holding a meeting this morning to decide whether they will join the talks or not.
The three health unions, including the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation and the Health Service Executive, were all involved in talks yesterday that ran into last night.
SIPTU will also meet with the LRC later today.
Meanwhile, Junior Finance Minister Brian Hayes told RTÉ News that the original target of €300 million savings for the year might not be met but they still hope to make a saving of €1 billion between now and 2015.

I thought they were just big boned?
Why did the bear dissolve in water….. because he was a polar bear
Bearly makes any sense?
Someone doesn’t know their chemistry….
Despite what we think, a polar bear’s fur is not white. Each hair is clear hollow tube. Polar bears look white because each hollow hair reflects the light. They suffer from thyroid problems and water retention like myself.
There’s a bear that we all know… Yogi
So…let’s analyse how polar bears cope with obesity…so humans can learn how to be obese and stay alive?
I’m all for research and finding out more about these animals, but why can’t humans just stop eating so much fat? We are the first generation of humans that will die younger than our ancestors, because of obesity or fatness-related illnesses.
You won’t see a polar bear driving a mobility scooter and cramming cheeseburgers into it’s gob – it eats fat because that’s all there is for them to eat! Humans have a choice.
Step away from the buffet. Give peas a chance…
Wahooo! I’m a polar bear!!!!
have your say
