Offaly Cumann na mBunscol postpone games amid Fórsa strike action

Offaly's Cumann na mBunscol has shown support for the strike action being taken by secretaries and caretakers across the country by postponing games until the strike is resolved.

The industrial action organised by the Fórsa trade union began last week, and is set continue indefinitely until the group elicits a response from Government.

In a statement shared online, Coiste Cumann na mBunscol Uibh Fáilí said:

"Unfortunately due to the on-going strike involving school secretaries and caretakers, Cumann na mBunscol Autumn Football Competitions in Offaly have been postponed.

"School secretaries organise the buses, referees, time and venue for these games. They simply cannot happen without them.

"Hopefully there will be a swift resolution and we can go back to promoting our wonderful games in primary schools."
