A 24 hour strike is underway, in relation to issues like pay and internal training.
A 24 hour strike by ambulance workers is underway.
A long running dispute between the National Ambulance Service and unions have led to around 2,000 workers walking off the job today.
The row is over grading and pay related to a programme of modernisation and training within the service.
The HSE is warning of potentially long delays to non-life-threatening call outs.
However the 999 service is operating and priority is being given to emergency cases.
Laois senator and first responder Maria McCormack says this could last beyond 24 hours:
