The all-powerful Callinan brothers

In the next days pay talks will begin to take place for the 350,000 employees who work in the public service.

Civil servants from the Department of Public Expenditure will sit across the table with a team from the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (Ictu).

The union team is headed by Ictu president and chairman of its public service committee Kevin Callinan.

It so happens that Kevin Callinan is the brother of the newly appointed secretary general of the Department of the Taoiseach and the most powerful civil servant John Callinan.

The brothers will not be meeting at the negotiations. But it will be interesting to know what they’ll have to say to each other privately on the negotiations.
