Hospital staff to go on strike
Some 160 SIPTU workers, including nurses and general staff, will take part in the industrial action. The Mid-Western Health Board (MWHB) confirmed it was informed this week SIPTU members employed in Clare mental health services will begin strike action on Monday.
The union insisted it will provide emergency cover. However, the MWHB has had to make arrangements with suppliers to get food to patients during the strike.
