The public have been asked to avoid Accident and Emergency departments tomorrow, Wednesday January 30th, at all costs as 35,000 nurses will be on strike.
The planned strike by nurses will go ahead tomorrow as scheduled, as last-minute talks to avert it collapsed last night.
Over 35,000 nurses will down tools for 24 hours tomorrow, in a bitter row over poor pay and dire working conditions at Irish hospitals.
Medical facilities are understood to be bracing themselves for the impact of the strike, as it happens to coincide with some of the coldest weather this winter, which may lead to increased admissions.
It’s understood that triage nurses will be delegated by individual strike groups on the day.
People are advised to share this information with their friends.
