Talks ended without a deal in place.

Talks will get underway at the Workplace Relations Commission this morning.

SIPTU representatives are due to meet Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Simon Coveney to discuss the temporary closure of Tara Mines.

The situation at Tara Mines is spiralling at the moment and the Government need to get hold of the situation.

Anything that can be done must be done so that these jobs can be saved.
