The head of ICTU has said unions who say that they are not willing to accept any cuts or changes to working conditions are not being realistic.
David Begg of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions was speaking to RTÉ's This Week.
He said there had to be a negotiated settlement of the current dispute over the proposals contained in the Croke Park II public service agreement.
The prudent thing for both the Government and unions to do would be to look at their own situation, he added.
Mr Begg said they should try to avoid an enormous amount of pain for union members, and an impairment of the return to recovery on the part of the Government.
Asked about possible industrial action, Mr Begg urged caution on the part of both unions and the Government, and warned them not to go into something which could tear the country apart.
He said there was a bit of a "phoney war" about the current dispute, as he said individual unions had not made any moves yet to combine to coordinate any industrial action.
However, he said that it could be that in two or three weeks' time something happens very quickly which precipitates a dispute, which everybody is in to before they quite know what they are getting in to.
