"Donegal majority support nurses"
04.05.07
|
Sinn Féin's Donegal
North East election candidate, Cllr. Pádraig
MacLochlainn has urged nurses to be reassured by the
"widespread support" of patients and communities
throughout Donegal.

As nurses prepare for a
work stoppage in Letterkenny on Tuesday, Cllr.
MacLochlainn said: "Donegal Sinn Féin met with the
nursing unions in Letterkenny, along with our party
president, Gerry Adams, earlier this week.
"We expressed our ongoing support for the reasonable
demands of fair conditions and fair wages made by
the |
 |
INO and PNA.
"Over recent months, weeks and days on the canvass
trail across Donegal, I can confirm that the vast
majority of people are on the side of the workers.
"I am calling on the nursing unions not to become
demoralised by misinformation carried by certain
sections of the media.
"Key media outlets are misrepresenting nurses as
somehow selfish or greedy. That is outrageous."
Donegal Sinn Fein urged the Government to resolve
the issue.
"I am calling on everyone to remember that this
dispute is partly about resolving a long-standing
pay injustice where other less qualified workers
have been getting paid more money than nurses.
"For the sake of everyone it is important that this
dispute is urgently resolved. It is no longer
acceptable for the Taoiseach to wipe his hands of
this dispute and Sinn Féin believes the Taoiseach
must become urgently involved." |
