Nurses and midwives in Clare are among thousands taking to the picket lines for a third day of strike action.
They’ll be protesting outside Ennis General Hosptial, Bindon Street Health Centre, St Joseph’s Hospital and the Raheen community Nursing Unit in Scarriff today, as well as at health facilities across the country.
