Good morning colleagues, 

The Indo reports that HSE boss Bernard Gloster has been warned by Fórsa and the INMO that the current dispute over staffing could escalate, and describing the HSE's management strategy as “unsafe and unsustainable.” The Echo reports on new HSE data that shows workforce growth in Cork hospitals decreased by almost 80% last year, compared to during the previous one-year period. 

Meanwhile, Mick Clifford continues his coverage of developments at An Bord Pleanála. He writes "How can we have confidence in An Bord Pleanála without knowing what was wrong?"
