Members of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation voted overwhelmingly in favor of industrial action, including strike action, in a dispute over public sector pay, the union announced on Wednesday. The ballot saw 99% of INMO members back the move, citing dissatisfaction with the government’s failure to address cost-of-living pressures and inadequate pay increases in public sector agreements.

INMO General Secretary Phil Ní Sheaghdha stated that members are working under extreme conditions due to overcrowding and understaffing, with morale at a low point. She emphasized that rising household costs, rents, fuel, and childcare expenses, compounded by workplace pressures such as parking shortages, have pushed nurses and midwives to demand fair remuneration. “The health service cannot continue to rely on the goodwill of nurses, midwives, and public service workers as a whole,” Ní Sheaghdha said .

Fórsa, Ireland’s largest public service trade union, also announced on Wednesday that its members had voted 97% in favor of industrial action, up to and including full-scale strikes, with a 73% turnout. The union has already served notice of industrial action on public health employers, set to commence on 30 September .
