Further pressure needs to be put on Government to bring equal pension rights for secretaries and caretakers back to the Workplace Relations Commission.

Today's picket line has moved from outside schools to TD's offices across the Midlands.

This woman says she had her pension taken away from her, despite working 20 years in an Offaly Secondary School:
