We welcome this morning’s news that strike action has been averted. We’ve been busy this morning to resume service delivery today. Thanks to our community for your unwavering support during these challenging times. We look forward to hearing the details of the agreement reached.

The Joint Committee on Disability Matters met in private today to discuss the impeding and indefinite strike action from tomorrow which will involve health and community workers nationwide, bringing essential disability services to a halt. Press release:👉bit.ly/3QjMoA2

@SIPTU @forsa_union_ie @irishcongress @INMO_IRL

Today our day services and respite services closed ahead of industrial action that starts tomorrow. Hundreds of people without a service, hundreds of staff devastated that it has come to this. @abilitywest repeat our plea to avert this action tonight
