SIPTU agrees deal to bring Dublin Fire Brigade numbers up to safe level

SIPTU members in Dublin Fire Brigade (DFB), on Friday, 2nd October, accepted Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) proposals on a recruitment plan that will see numbers in the service brought up to safe minimum manning levels within an agreed timeframe.

SIPTU Sector Organiser, Brendan O’Brien, said: “Dublin City Council and SIPTU firefighter representatives have agreed to a set of proposals tabled by the WRC. They include a commitment by both parties that numbers in the DFB should be brought up to 963, in line with the agreed safe manning levels in place since 1991.

“In order to meet this commitment a time lined recruitment and promotion programme within DFB has been agreed. Also, it has been agreed to establish a joint working group to look at ways to address the current shortages in firefighters pending the arrival of the new recruits.”

SIPTU DFB Convenor, Gerry Harris, said: “This agreement, once implemented, will ensure that firefighters can provide the best service possible to the residents of Dublin."
