Clare-Based IARC Representative Says Planned Ambulance Work Stoppage Is "Concern For Everybody"

A Clare-based Irish Ambulance Representative Council representative says the prospect of ambulance workers carrying out a 72-hour work stoppage should be a "concern for everybody". Trade unions representing National Ambulance Service staff have confirmed that next week's planned 48-hour strike won't be going ahead following yesterday's Labour Court talks. Members are seeking the implementation of a 2020 report's recommendations around updating salary scales to reflect changes in responsibilities and workload. Unions have confirmed plans remain in place for a 72-hour work stoppage on May 26th, and Midwest IARC representative, Clooney Quin native Orla Considine, says this isn't taken lightly.
