Medical specialists in Ireland are now the lowest-paid within the English-speaking world, the president of the Irish Medical Organisation has said. In his presidential address to the organisation’s annual conference on Saturday, Dr Matt Sadlier (above) warned the recent 30 per cent cut in salaries for newly appointed hospital consultants could cause “generational damage” to the Irish health service.
The IMO president neglects to say that existing hospital consultants are paid one third more than their counterparts in the North and Britain in the NHS.

The Irish Medical Organisation has rejected a motion supporting regulation of abortion in line with the X Case following a heated and emotive debate.
The motion was defeated by 42 votes to 32 at the IMO’s annual conference.
The AGM has also rejected abortion in the case of victims of rape or incest who become pregnant.
Doctors also rejected a call for legislation for abortion in the case of a woman with a non-viable foetal abnormality.
