After the recent talks, Fórsa stated that a path was now open to resolve remaining issues. Union employees at Oberstown had gone on a 12-hour strike the previous Tuesday and prepared for a 48-hour walkout starting on Monday. Fórsa recognized the contributions of the Department of Children, Disability and Equality and the Workplace Relations Commission in facilitating these discussions. The Oberstown site had claimed a proactive stance in enhancing staffing levels over the past year. Upon hearing about the progress at the Workplace Relations Commission, the center expressed satisfaction with the advancements.",
