Nurses enter roundtable talks in bid to avert looming one-day stoppages

Nurses are to meet with the Department of Health and the HSE today in a bid to avert planned strike action.

One-day stoppages are set to go ahead after 90% of the membership of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) voted in favour of industrial action.

The action, which is likely to start before the end of the month would also include work-to-rule measures.
