Further backing for public pay deal
The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) backed the deal by a margin of 75% to 25%, while the Irish Medical Organisation did so by an even bigger margin of 85% to 15%. The biggest acceptance margin of all came from the Irish Federation of University Teachers (IFUT) which supported the new public service pay deal by 93% to 7%.
The INMO said it will seek immediate engagement with the Public Service Pay Commission to address concerns regarding staff recruitment and retention difficulties in the health sector.
