Some psychiatric nursing strikes will overlap with INMO’s 24-hour strikes

A second nurses’ union has announced strike plans intensifying the prospect of widespread disruption to the health service in two weeks' time.

The Psychiatric Nurses Association (PNA) has taken a similar tack to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) by announcing an extended plan of industrial action, beginning on January 31, with a refusal to work overtime.
