Strike Paused as Talks Begin | Limerick News

Workers at Ireland’s largest dementia care facility, St. Joseph’s Centre, are on the brink of strike action over pay disputes — but a last-minute intervention by the Workplace Relations Commission has paused the walkout. The union, SIPTU, had planned a 72-hour strike starting July 27th to demand wages that reflect the vital, hands-on care they provide. Management warned of disruption to vulnerable residents, while workers insisted their labor deserves fair compensation. With talks now underway under WRC mediation, the strike is on hold — but not forgotten. If no progress is made, workers are ready to resume action on July 29th.

President’s Punchy Press Dinner | Limerick News

The President delivered a sharp, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt speech at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, blending biting jabs at the media with heartfelt praise for Secret Service agents and law enforcement after the April assassination attempt. He roasted reporters for their future job insecurity, cracked jokes about his second term, and even recounted Nicki Minaj’s twerking after hearing gunshots — all while stressing America’s refusal to submit to political violence. He honored Officer Victor Gonzales, teased allies like RFK Jr., and took shots at critics like Bruce Springsteen — calling his tour “Bored in the USA.” Despite tensions, he declared himself the most transparent president ever and shook hands with journalists who’d criticized him. The event, his first such dinner in office, was called “interesting” and “far worse than I thought” — but also marked a rare moment of mutual respect, as the WHCA vowed not to be intimidated by violence.
