NURSES in Limerick yesterday staged a four-hour work stoppage against “unsafe” overcrowding in the &Mid-West Regional Hospital’s Emergency Department (ED).

TEMPORARY staff hired by the Health Service Executive to administer a Government supplementary welfare allowance started work last week without receiving Garda vetting.

THE elderly Limerick teacher who accidentally locked herself into a school for four nights over a bank holiday weekend has still not returned to work, more than a month after the incident.
