“They should be paid triple, instead they’re forced onto the street” – McGee

Around 2,000 ambulance workers, EMTs and paramedics are on strike and gathering at picket lines around the country.
The industrial action at the National Ambulance Service over pay, kicked off at 8am and lasts for 24 hours, with further action planned for next week.

999 services are still operating, but the HSE says critical cases are being prioritised, and non-life-threatening call-outs could face significant delays.

Independent Cllr Michael Cholm McGiolla Easbuig and 100% Redress Cllr Dennis McGee joined the picket line outside Letterkenny University Hospital this morning.

Cllr McGee told Highland Radio News that highly educated and skilled workers who deserve far more than they get are being forced onto the streets…………
