Efforts underway to avert tomorrow's nurses strike

The Labour Court is issuing a recommendation to end the nurses dispute and avert tomorrow's strike action.

It summoned both sides to a formal hearing, which has now ended.

The Executive Council of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation will meet at 5.30 to consider the proposal, and whether to suspend tomorrow's strikes.

40,000 nurses and midwives belonging to the INMO and PNA will stage the industrial action in an escalation of their dispute with the government over pay and working conditions.
