INMO trade union picket line outside Beaumont in Dublin on Wednesday, the first day of a planned series of one day strikes in support of better pay and conditions.
Members’ update: the INMO Executive Council will meet tomorrow (Saturday) to discuss further dates for strikes, beyond the dates already announced: 5th, 7th, 12th, 13th, and 14th.
The government still has not made any serious proposals to avert further strike dates. (1/2)

Nurses and midwives do not want to be on strike for one minute, let alone several days.
But sadly we have been forced into this position by a government which refuses to listen.
We are immensely grateful for all the public messages of support. Thank you! (2/2)

This morning.
Yesterday: ‘The Government Is Taking Legal Advice’
I cant remember a less well supported strike in a long time. Everyone I know agrees they need better working conditions. Nobody thinks for one second that an exchequer busting pay rise is gonna solve that. They’re not being honest and people know it. They say its conditions but its wonga they want.
Can’t wait for you to elaborate.
PAy rise will encourage more nurses to take up one of the many vacant positions.
Shows how linited your grasp of the situation is Ranter.
My arse. Bottomless pit that’s all. More of them encouraged. Will ya go away.
True, the money is needed for the scammers responsible for the new childrens hospital.
Who would like to pay more tax? Any offers?
While I would prefer not to part with my hard earned cash anymore than I have to, I would be willing to take some pain in return for better services, albeit grudgingly.
Public transport for a start and of course health but I already pay for a private plan so I don’t have to go to the public hospitals.
I would like the silly amount I pay to be used correctly. Not giving Tds a pay rise whenever they feel like
an observation.
mostly young and agency nurses on the picket, not too many of the middle aged natives out in the cold.
