Strikes set to resume as nurses push back on deal

Union ‘working flat out’ to explain pay offer amid rising anger

The bulk of members taking to social media and the airwaves yesterday expressed their anger at the terms, which Finance Minister Pascal Donohoe said would cost up to €15m this year and up to €35m next year.
