Members of the Irish Small and Medium Enterprises' Association (ISME) have voted unanimously to take part in discussions to negotiate a fourth national agreement.
In a statement last night, ISME said members, in principle, favoured a further agreement subject to a few crucial issues being resolved. While the association awaited a response from the Taoiseach on what level of involvement in the negotiations he proposed for ISME, the association said nothing less than full status as a social partner was acceptable.
