Kerry nurses to ballot for industrial action

Nurses at St. John of God’s Services, Beaufort, Co Kerry are to ballot for industrial action in a row over rosters.

According to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO), a proposed new roster has previously being rejected by the staff as it is unworkable and will lead to a deterioration of the services in Beaufort which is a residential centre for clients with Intellectual Disability.
