Nurses and managment at the Mid West’s main hospital are set to hold talks this afternoon ahead of a planned work stoppage by staff tomorrow.
Members of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation are planning a four hour walkout from the emergency department at Dooradoyle in protest at what they say is chronic overcrowding.
The INMO claims managament have yet to put contingency plans in place to deal with tomorrow’s action – While regional spokesperson Mary Fogarty says the nurses providing emergency cover during the stoppage have been told they won’t be paid.
