INMO members vote to accept proposals offered to resolve their industrial dispute
The Minister for Health says the new deal between the INMO and the government is good for nurses, patients and the health service.

It follows three days of strike action earlier this year, which led to thousands of cancelled operations and outpatient appointments.
INMO General Secretary, Phil Ní Sheaghdha hopes it will encourage Irish nurses abroad to come home:
