Patient group urges support for INO strike
The protest by members of the Irish Nurses Organisation (INO) will begin outside the Mater Hospital, Dublin, Cork University Hospital and Roscommon General Hospital at lunchtime. Patients Together is urging employers to give their staff the extra time needed to attend the protests.
The group’s founder and spokesperson, Janette Byrne, said she was one of the hundreds of thousands of people directly affected by the country’s disastrous health service.
