3-day strike by Irish criminal barristers over unrestored fees, with delays in court cases.

Criminal barristers in Ireland are staging a third consecutive day of strike action over fees, with protests in 11 courthouses. The barristers have been unable to restore financial emergency pay cuts, prompting the nationwide industrial action. Despite a 2018 government report stating fee restoration was justified, no agreement has been reached. The strike has led to delays in court cases, adding to the existing backlog.
