SIPTU, the country's largest trade union, says its members across the private sector are to seek pay increases to match the rising costs of living and will re-negotiate existing pay deals which fall short of inflation.

The union says that its members in more than 2,500 companies across Ireland will urgently seek minimum rises in line with the rate of inflation which is forecast to reach 8% over the coming weeks and months.

"We are aware that some businesses may not be able to afford the increases required to meet inflation and do not intend to place them in further financial difficulty with unsustainable pay claims."
