CONSULTANTS insisted yesterday that they have already taken a salary cut of 15% and will not accept any further reduction until the rest of the public sector catches up with them.

WHAT happened to women under the care of disgraced obstetrician Dr Michael Neary was appalling and should never happen again, said president of the Irish Hospital Consultants Association (IHCA) Dr Paul Oslizlok.
