Cowen to address IMPACT conference in Kilkenny
Friday, May 16, 2008
The new Taoiseach, Brian Cowen, is due to address the annual conference of the IMPACT trade union in Kilkenny today.
IMPACT is the largest union in the public service and Mr Cowen is expected to use his speech to expand on his vision of Ireland's public services.
In recent weeks, he has spoken openly about more inclusion and equality in the delivery of health and education.
Getting IMPACT on board will be key to implementing any planned reforms.
