Nurses take action over ‘appalling’ conditions

NURSES at one of the country’s largest health-care clinics have begun protest action, claiming cramped conditions are compromising patient care.

Public health nurses at Millbrook Lawns Health Centre in Tallaght, Dublin, held a lunchtime protest last Friday because of what the Irish Nurses Organisation (INO) described as “appalling working conditions”.

They were joined by Labour leader Pat Rabbitte, who is to raise the issue with Health Minister Mícheál Martin today.
