Good morning colleagues, 

Day 2 of conference in Letterkenny and last night saw motions on the community and voluntary sector at the Health and Welfare conference, and news of progress on job evaluation in local authorities was central to the Local Government Local Services divisional conference.

Elsewhere, our colleague Andy Pike is to speak on Galway Bay FM this morning about the upcoming ballot of school secretaries, while Linda Kelly is quoted in The Echo in a story about how one in four positions across Cork children’s disability network teams is currently vacant.
