Construction work removes hundreds of staff parking spaces at St James' Hospital

Staff at St James's Hospital in Dublin will face parking chaos today.

Nurses and other shift workers say more than 300 car parking spaces have been removed from the grounds of the hospital and no alternative has been provided.

The loss of spaces is directly related to the beginning of work on the new Children's Hospital.

The INMO says the situation is likely to have serious consequences for the recruitment and retention of staff.
