Dunnes Stores and Mandate Trade Union will attend the Labour Court today in bid to resolve the long running dispute over pay and conditions.

More than 6,000 staff walked off the job in a nationwide day of action last year - in the hopes of gaining more secure working hours and incomes.

The retailer has been accused of dismissing workers and changing their rosters as a result of the strike action.

Dunnes Stores employs 10 thousand workers in 114 stores across the country.
