Roscommon school secretaries and caretakers are among thousands of colleagues across the country who are continuing a second day of strike action today, Friday, over a pensions dispute.
A number of Roscommon people also joined a protest in Athlone today outside the Department of Education.
School secretaries and caretakers claim they are not being given access to public sector pensions and other entitlements.
More than 2,600 members of the Fórsa union nationwide are involved in the indefinite strike and up to 2,000 schools will be impacted.
