Notice issued by Irish Water regarding strike action.

Fógra eisithe ag Uisce Éireann maidir le stailc.

Irish Water has indicated that the water supply may be disrupted in various parts of the country due to a strike underway by workers in several local authorities.

Tá sé tugtha le fios ag Uisce Éireann go mb'fhéidir go gcuirfí isteach ar an soláthar uisce in áiteanna éagsúla sa tír mar gheall ar stailc atá ar bun ag oibrithe i roinnt údarás áitiúil.

The workers from the Unite trade union are demanding to retain their status as public servants when they are transferred to Irish Water.

Tá na hoibrithe ón gceardchumann Unite ag éileamh a stádas mar sheirbhísigh phoiblí a choinneáil nuair a aistreofar iad go hUisce Éireann.

The workers are not satisfied with what the Workplace Relations Commission proposed last year about the issue and they want to engage in discussions again with the other interested parties.

Níl na hoibrithe sásta le cuid dar mhol an Coimisiún um Chaidreamh san Áit Oibre anuraidh faoin gceist agus tá siad ag iarraidh dul i mbun comhráite arís leis na páirtithe leasmhara eile.

According to them, however, the Local Government Management Agency is not willing to talk to them at the moment and that the strike is the best option.

Dar leo, áfach, nach bhfuil an Ghníomhaireacht Bainistíochta Rialtais Áitiúil sásta labhairt leo faoi láthair agus gurb in é is siocair leis an stailc.

Irish Water says the company has issued a water withdrawal notice - just in case - in some areas of Waterford and Tipperary due to the strike.

Deir Uisce Éireann go bhfuil fógra beirithe uisce eisithe ag an gcomhlacht – ar eagla na heagla – i gceantair áirithe i bPort Láirge agus i dTiobraid Árann mar gheall ar an stailc.

In that case, says the company, there could be a delay in repair work in some other places, such as South Dublin; Carlow; Cork City; Co Cork; Kerry; Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown; Fingal; Galway City; Wexford; and Louth.

Ina cheann sin, a deir an comhlacht, d'fhéadfadh moill a bheith ar obair dheisiúcháin i roinnt áiteanna eile, mar atá, Baile Átha Cliath Theas; Ceatharlach; Cathair Chorcaí; Co Chorcaí; Ciarraí; Dún Laoghaire-Ráth an Dúin; Fine Gall; Cathair na Gaillimhe; Loch Garman; agus Lú.

The company says it has consulted hospitals and nursing centers in those areas.

Deir an comhlacht go bhfuil comhairle curtha acu ar ospidéil agus ar ionaid altranais sna ceantair sin.

The workers will be on strike again tomorrow but they will be available to deal with emergencies.

Beidh na hoibrithe ar stailc arís amárach ach beidh siad ar fáil le dul i ngleic le héigeandálacha.
