Members of the Unite trade union at the Central Bank and Financial Regulator are due to stage a one-day strike today.
Union members are accusing management of pulling back on negotiations made over contracts.
Pickets are due to be placed at the Central Bank on Dame Street and at the Office of the Financial Regulator on College Green. The Central Bank’s currency centre in Sandyford, Dublin will also be picketed.
The Central Bank carries a statement on its website saying it has been served notice of the strike and that all key stakeholders have been informed of the industrial action.
The Central Bank’s TARGET Real Time Gross Settlement System for large-value payments is due to continue to operate today. Normal retail business of domestic banks will not be affected, the bank said.
However, the Central Bank’s public office and the Financial Regulator’s consumer information centre will not be open today.
Consumers with personal finance queries can still contact the helpline on 1890 777 777 and access information from the website www.itsyourmoney.ie.
