This morning.
Aungier Street, Dublin 2
Archaeologists investigating Medieval remains down implements to carry out a day-long strike over ‘historic’ pay claims.
Unite members working for the Irish Archaeological Consultancy (IAC) voted for strike action after a ‘refusal from the company to engage’ over pay , either directly or through the Workplace Relations Commission.
The Aungier Street works have already unearthed the remains of a medieval church, a 12th-century town ditch, and three houses in the “Dutch Billy” style dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries.
The site, bounded by Stephen Street Upper and Great Longford Street, has been earmarked for development into student ‘digs’.

Go on the lads! Rob Lynch should be bricking it by now.
“Historic pay claims” tee hee.
They’re only scratching the surface on this whole pay issue.
disagree
digging a hole for themselves more like
i hear their claims are without foundation
Time will tell. Who knows what they’ll throw up.
I heard archaeologists are creative and arti – fact!
I dated an archaeologist a very long time ago – bit of a bore.
Wasn’t me then, I’m windswept and interesting.
and that’s just your eyebrows:)
They are a showstopper, alright.
strike while the iron age is hot!
Archaeologists down tools?
What if those tools found during old excavations were actually from historic archaeologists doing same?
Their careers were in ruins anyway…
What do archaeologists wellies and George Michael have in common?
They both get sucked off in bogs.
i thought archaeologists were into Sandels..
Awwwwwwww. Poor ole Seoirse Micheál. I was in London recently and I think I walked past the Snappy Snaps he crashed into.
Lovely way to leave his mark on this world.
…and more delays to much needed housing in Dublin…
Yes, this one day strike will have a major detrimental effect on the whole development. The developers may as well just scrap the whole enterprise. Thanks a bunch, aggrieved underpaid workers.
This building project is in ruins!
Victory to the lads.
