ABOUT THIS EPISODE
The biggest public service strike in more than 15 years will bring widespread disruption across the country today.
Schools are closed and hospital appointments cancelled as thousands of public sector workers take to picket lines.
From hospitals and classrooms - to government offices and the courts, today's strike is affecting almost every area of public life.
Emergency medical care will continue, but routine appointments and procedures are being cancelled.
Many council and government services are shut, with picket lines outside Leinster House - but public transport is expected to run normally.
At the heart of the dispute is pay, with unions demanding an inflation-beating increase after the last public service agreement expired in June.
