Nurses stage sit-in after pay warning

NURSES staged a sit-in at a major acute hospital in Dublin last night after management warned that more than half of the members of their strike committee would not be paid unless they returned to their normal clinical duties.

It took a visit from the general secretary of the Irish Nurses Organisation (INO), Liam Doran, to calm the situation down and encourage the 30 nurses involved in the sit in at St Vincent’s Hospital to call off their protest.

Mr Doran also agreed to meet with management later today to try and resolve the issue.
