The ongoing strike action at a number of Tesco stores nationwide will continue until at least tomorrow.
The news of the continued strike action comes after further talks between the Mandate trade union and management at Tesco Ireland came to a conclusion on Friday evening without an agreement being reached.
The industrial action which has arisen due to an ongoing dispute over long standing contracts being cancelled, will at 16 Tesco stores around.
Meanwhile union chiefs have said a further 23 Tesco stores will be balloted to join the dispute early next week.
If that happens, we could eventually be looking at an all-out national Tesco strike by next weekend.
