Speaking following a meeting with the CEO of the Health Service Executive, the INMO, Fórsa, Connect, Unite, and the MLSA have expressed disappointment with the HSE’s cavalier attitude to a dispute that is due to begin in the form of a work-to-rule by over 80,000 workers in the public health service March 31st 2025.
