'Incensed' nurses to go ahead with stoppages as they accuse hospital chiefs of 'total failure'

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation says strike action will go ahead next Tuesday, due to management’s "total failure" to address the staffing crisis in emergency departments.

Two-hour rolling work stoppages are due to start at seven hospitals across the country, between 8am on Tuesday morning and 4pm in the afternoon.
