NURSING STAFF AT Beaumont in Dublin have agreed to defer a work-to-rule action planned for next week.
INMO members at the hospital — one of the busiest in the country — voted unanimously in favour of industrial action at the height of the nationwide overcrowding crisis, earlier this month.
They said the Emergency Department was no longer safe for patients and staff.
That action, however, has now been deferred, following an agreement at at the Labour Relations Commission.
“Management have agreed to increase staffing levels in the department on both days and nights,” a statement from the union said.
They are to continue their efforts to secure additional community beds to address the problem of delayed discharges in the hospital and have agreed to a joint review of the hospital escalation policy.
INMO Industrial Relations Officer Lorraine Monaghan said it was a positive outcome for the union’s members at Beaumont ED.
“We are pleased that management have agreed to increase staffing levels in the interest of providing a safe level of care to patients in the Emergency Department.
All barriers to the recruitment of nurses must now be lifted.
She said the agreement would only last “if management’s proposals are implemented in a timely fashion”.

I’m sick to the teeth of Enda Kenny. I cringe every time I see him and it gets worse when I remember he’s the leader of my country, how the hell did it happen???
People voted in an election
Ive spent 3 years trying to figure out that. Spineless useless get. Hes about to get his though. Knives are being sharpened
He became leader because Richard Bruton made a balls of the Fine Gael leadership challenge and Fianna Fail made a balls of the country. Wrong man in the right place so to speak.
Ther was a film about it a few years back called ‘The Accidental Taoiseach’……
I misread that.
I thought it said Enda’s brown bread!
Ah well, never mind.
Brilliant John
F*cking cringeworthy stuff. I actually got embarrassed watching that. Memories of the Calor Housewife of the year competition. And as for Enda. Suffering Jasus!
There’s a lot of Brown stuff pouring out of Enda’s mouth as it is without adding to it
I honestly don’t know how he shows his face in public. I’d be gone into hiding, never to be seen again.
Krusty the clown
Krusty the clown. Brilliant!!
” making brown bread ” sur Enda isnt that what the wimmin do best”
at least that would appear to be the case in regard to appointments to Junior Ministries or to the senate
Was having a great day till I seen the idiot walking about and he looked nackered time for him to retire lets hope shatter shatters him on late later tomorrow night.
Then again RTE won’t allow tubridy ask the correct question that will allow shatter shatter kenny
Well if I may interject in the bash the mayoman I want to stand up for the bread… Stunning!! I know – I’ve had it enough times! Well done on the “latest” win Betty!
At the start of the video, the presenter grabs the runners-up hand first of all and then swapsover. Poor woman probably thought she won.
Typical mayo flute
Did Enda not ask Betty Williams if winning the baking competition meant as much as the Nobel Peace Prize?
A*rse hole EU puppet
have your say
