University Hospital Limerick has agreed to accept and pay all unrostered hours that are worked and submitted with consultant approval by Thursday, 22 February 2018. If this agreement is upheld, no industrial action will be necessary. However, if this commitment is not upheld, the IMiO says it will have a mandate to take industrial action.
