Nurses call for public to join overcrowding protest

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation is calling on members of the public to join them in a lunchtime protest, over what they have described as the appalling overcrowding of our hospitals.
The demonstration, which is being supported by SIPTU and ICTU, will take place at 12 noon outside the Kildare street entrance of the Dáil to coincide with the return of TDs today after the Christmas break.
