The entire 6,000-strong membership of the Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) has agreed to back a decision by public health doctors to ballot on industrial action. 

The show of support was agreed to at the organisation's virtual AGM after “deeply disappointing” talks with health chiefs about consultancy contracts and status ended in acrimony.
