Press releases

The INMO today (Friday) thanked local businesses and the public for their kind support of nurses and midwives on the picket lines on Wednesday.

The Labour Court has indicated that it will not intervene at this time in the nurses and midwives’ strike, which is set to begin at 8am tomorrow.

The INMO has accepted an invitation from the Chair of the Labour Court to informal talks today at 4:30 pm.

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.
