The INMO has launched a public petition at StandWithUs.ie, calling on the government to raise nurses and midwives’ pay to ensure safe staffing levels in the Irish health service. 

The INMO and PNA met with the HSE and Department of Health today. 

Ireland’s nurses and midwives will go on strike for 24 hours on January 30th, it was announced today. The union is legally required to give one week’s notice, but has given three to allow for safety planning. Should the dispute go unresolved, there will be further 24-hour strikes on 5th and 7th of February, and then the 12th, 13th and 14th. 

108,227 patients went without hospital beds in 2018 – a record high, according to new analysis released today by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation.
