Nurses and midwives will walk out of their jobs on a number of dates this month, as the row over pay and conditions escalates.
There will be further industrial action on the 12th, 13th, and 14th of February, and later on the 19th and 21st if the situation is not resolved.
According to the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO), the Government has made no effort whatsoever to resolve the crisis.
The row continues.
