Junior doctors in strike threat

Junior doctors are threatening to go on strike again over continued long working hours.

The Irish Medical Organisation claims this evening that last year's agreement with health service employers to lower hours is not being implemented.

The IMO will debate the matter tomorrow at their annual conference in Killarney.

Newly-elected IMO President Dr Mick Molloy said tonight: "The cabinet's mere 'noting' of reports on the working hours of non-consultants isn't good enough."
