Nurses in Dingle have voted overwhelmingly for industrial action. The results of Tuesday’s ballot have been communicated to the HSE and notice served, a spokesman said yesterday.
The action, which will see nurses refuse to transfer to the new €16.4 million community hospital in the town, centres on staffing numbers and security issues.
Staff and 43 patients are due to transfer from St Elizabeth’s Hospital to the new facility at the end of this month.
