'I will struggle to pay the mortgage but I had to make a stand,' says midwife on strike at Coombe

Brid Shine, a bereavement midwife at the Coombe Hospital, says the strike is about much more than pay.

“We are losing pay because of the industrial dispute and that is not going to be easy but we have to wade through this."

That was the view of Nicole Menton, who works as a midwife sonographer at the Coombe Women and Infants University Hospital in Dublin.
