Derry Jobs To Go

Derry City Council is seeking voluntary redundancies ahead of a radical shake-up of services.

The overhaul has the full support of elected members but it has not yet published the details.

However, the union, NIPSA, which represents council workers, said it will consult its members before giving a detailed response.
