‘Resolve nursing dispute’

SINN Féin TD for Louth and East Meath, Imelda Munster is calling on the government to deal with the matter of poor pay and conditions for workers in our health service in order to find a remedy to the ongoing INMO dispute which has seen nurses and midwives taking to the picket line last week.

Speaking in the Dáil this week, Deputy Munster asked the Minister for Finance to accept that the issues that have led to the strike need to be addressed if a resolution is to be found.

“The government needs to admit that its recruitment drive has been a dismal failure,” she commented. “Irish nurses working across the globe are sending messages of solidarity to their striking colleagues and encouraging them to stand up for themselves, remain strong and stay out.”
