Up to 5,000 workers employed across 18 community and voluntary agencies around the country are set to take part in the planned strike tomorrow. These will include staff at St Luke’s Nursing Home, Cobh Community Hospital, Enable Ireland, the Irish Wheelchair Association, and St Joseph’s Foundation in Cork.
The action is set to have direct impacts on service s.
Area manager south for the Irish Wheelchair Association, Martin McCarthy, said the association’s three community centres across Cork, — situated in Blackrock, Mallow, and Clonakilty — will all be affected.
“These centres will not be open for services and no transport will be running, impacting many people and their families across the county,” he said.
“The assisted-living service in the community will be greatly affected by this action also.”
