Ambulance workers 'ready' to go on 48-hour strike next week as Taoiseach and Opposition clash in Dail

"A 48-hour ambulance strike is expected to go ahead next week after 2,000 workers took to the picket lines on Tuesday."

"Without a breakthrough in the pay dispute, industrial action could ramp up to a three-day stoppage across the National Ambulance Service (NAS) the following week, and more strikes in June."

A 48-hour ambulance strike is expected to take place next week after 2,000 workers joined picket lines on Tuesday. No breakthrough has emerged in the pay dispute, leaving industrial action at risk of expanding. If negotiations do not resolve the dispute, industrial action could ramp up to a three-day stoppage across the National Ambulance Service the following week. Additional strikes are also possible in June. The situation is tied to ongoing HSE pay talks, with political disagreement in the Dáil over the ambulance service.
