IMPACT’s central executive approved a change of name in February for the branch formerly known as ‘Dublin North HSE’.

Branch secretary Colum Geraghty explained that the branch had passed a motion at its AGM in February to change the name. “This is because the branch now has members working in the child and family agency, Tusla, as well as in the HSE. The branch members felt that our name should reflect this change,” he said.

The branch’s official name is now the 'Dublin North Health and Welfare' branch.
