## Resource

Tensions are rising at St. Joseph’s Centre in Shankill, Dublin — Ireland’s largest dementia care facility — as housekeeping staff, backed by union Siptu, prepare for a potential strike after failed negotiations. The team, which cares for over 80 residents daily, voted in June to walk out over job regrading demands and has staged one-day walkouts. Talks at the Workplace Relations Commission broke down before, but a new meeting is set for Tuesday — with a strike still looming if no progress is made. Staff argue residents’ safety demands urgent action, while the facility claims it’s offered solutions and that staff are properly trained. With the WRC’s decision looming, all eyes are on whether a breakthrough can be reached — or if the strike will go ahead, risking care for vulnerable residents.
