Galway hospital dispute suspended
A work-to-rule by ward clerks at University College Hospital in Galway due to begin this morning has been suspended.
The suspension is to allow for further talks between the Western Health Board and SIPTU over the threatened lay-off of 169 health care workers.
The three main unions representing the staff are resisting moves by the Board to lay off the workers, which are part of a €1m budget cut demanded by the Department of Health.
