INMO: Nurse strike due to management’s ‘total failure’ to address staffing crisis

Nurses have blamed management’s “total failure” to address a staffing crisis for two-hour rolling stoppages that will be held in seven hospitals next Tuesday.

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) has warned that the first day of strike action will be followed up by further days in mid- to late January in the absence of progress on a range of critical issues.

Strike action will take place between 8am and 4pm at Beaumont and Tallaght hospitals in Dublin; Mercy Hospital, Cork; Midland Regional Hospital, Tullamore; Cavan General Hospital; and University Hospital Galway.
