LRC intervene in nurses dispute

The Labour Relations Commission is intervening in the nurses' dispute over working conditions in Accident and Emergency Units.

A work-to-rule began yesterday and is threatening operations in a number of the country's main hospitals.

The LRC is expected to convene talks tomorrow with the Irish Nurses Organisation, SIPTU and the Health Service Employers.

INO General Secretary, Liam Doran says it's a positive move, but warned that in order to broker an agreement huge issues will need to be resolved.
