Good morning colleagues, 

 

Ashley Connolly appeared on Newstalk Breakfast this morning to talk about the ballot of our members in the HSE, which gets underway today. That interview isn't yet available online but I will update this morning's briefing when it's available. Meanwhile the story is carried in regional and national media.

 

This morning's papers open with the Indo story about a shortage of public-health nurses, particularly in areas of west Dublin, which has led to "parents whose baby is due a check at around 10 months being advised to do their own screening, with the help of a guide book and to contact their local clinic with any specific worries." The paper's editorial notes: "The recruitment freeze, which lasted months, also exacerbated levels of vacancies and, overall, there has been a near 7pc fall in public health nurse numbers in over four years."
