Protesters gathered outside a nursing home in renewed calls for a fair redundancy package following a decision to close three Dublin care facilities.

Staff from St Monica’s Nursing Home on Belvedere Place say the closures will put 200 staff out of work and lead to the loss of 160 beds from the healthcare system.
