Nurses at Emergency Departments to strike
It follows a vote my members of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation.
INMO members have voted overwhelmingly in favour of industrial action - including strike action - over emergency department overcrowding.
The union is to notify the HSE and all relevant health service employers in the coming days.
The campaign of industrial action, which will involve strike action, will begin on Tuesday the 15th of December, and will initially involve a number of Emergency Departments on a rolling basis.
The INMO says further days of strike action will take place, involving remaining ED's, in the New Year.
The General Secretary of the INMO is Liam Doran.
