I understand that the County and City Managers' Association, representing the employing health authorities, are in touch with the Irish Nurses' Organisation about the claim submitted on behalf of hospital nurses for a reduction in working hours.
Should my sanction be sought to any settlement, I shall be very happy to consider the matter.
