Nurses and midwives have gathered outside Regional Hospital Tullamore this afternoon as part of an ongoing protest.
Members of SIPTU, Fórsa and the INMO are campaigning against the HSE's recruitment cap, which they say in stopping vital healthcare posts from being filled.
It's claimed as many as 49 posts at Tullamore Hospital were in the process of being filled before the cap came into place.
General Secretary of the INMO, Phil Ní Sheaghdha, says the whole situation is crazy:
SIPTU Sector Organiser, Damien Ginley, says there was no direct impact on patients and services:
