Representatives of the social partners met with An Taoiseach, Brian Cowen, TD and other Government representatives this morning. Members from ICTU, IBEC and the other social partners were given an outline briefing on a plan to stimulate the economy next year. INTO General Secretary John Carr, who was part of the ICTU delegation, raised the effects of the education cutbacks proposed in Budget 2009, and in particular proposed increases in class size, at the briefing session. Following the meeting intense consultations are scheduled to take place between now and the end of January on the issues contained in the Framework for National Recovery.
