Good morning colleagues,

Among the top four things you need to know this morning (according to Cork's RedFM) is that talks over pensions for school secretaries and caretakers have broken down: "The discussions came to a halt at the Workplace Relations Commission last night, with Fórsa blaming the Department of Education for failing to engage meaningfully on range of proposals." 

The story is also carried in the Irish Times, The Journal, RTÉ (Andy Pike is due to speak on Today with David McCullough after 9am this morning), the Indo and a huge range of regional titles.

This and other big Fórsa news stories are in the member bulletins dropping this morning.
