Labour Court backs proposed hostel staffing in Rathdowney

By Orla Quinn

Historic decision · Decision date:

Place: no local area assigned from the source.

In 1995, the Labour Court recommended that the unions accept Midland Health Board's proposed night staffing at a planned high-support hostel in Rathdowney. The Board proposed one nurse and one care assistant, while Services Industrial Professional Technical Union and Psychiatric Nurses' Association sought two nurses and an attendant. The Court relied on the Board's assurances about how residents would be selected and that none would be admitted directly. The recommendation was signed on 3 October 1995; the Board was to review staffing if those circumstances changed.
