Up to 5,000 health and community workers who play a critical role in our society are on the brink of indefinite strike action from 17 October.

Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media: RTÉ Oversight and Long-Term Support and Funding: Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media (4 Oct 2023)

Alan Dillon: The feeling, as far as I am concerned anyway, is that something needed to happen with the board due to its failures.
