FG TD questions why nurses are going on strike after INMO agreed deal 'only a number of months ago'

The INMO will announce details later of the first of a series of 24-hour strikes by members.

Update: A Fine Gael TD has said the last thing the health service needs at the moment is a strike by nurses.

The INMO is due to announce later when it will stage the first in a series of 24-hour walkouts.
