Industrial action by retained firefighters in Cork - and across the country - continues.

If a resolution isn't found by Tuesday, half of fire stations will close.

The fire stations that will close in Cork on Tuesday have been revealed.

Industrial action continues for a fifth consecutive day among on-call firefighters.

No resolution has been found yet.

Firefighters are currently not attending drills and not servicing vital, life saving equipment like their breathing apparatus sets.

They claim the action is in relation to management's failure to address the worsening recruitment and retention crisis.

SIPTU says 9 out of 10 new recruits left the fire service this year because they couldn't make a living in the job.

If a resolution isn't found by next Tuesday, half of all retained fire crews will not respond to calls.

The fire stations that will close for picketing in Cork County have been revealed.

They are Cobh, Youghal, Crosshaven, Kinsale, Mallow, Mitchelstown, Millstreet, Bantry, Clonakilty and Dunmanway.

SIPTU Members will engage in an all out strike by June 20th if no resolution has been found.
