Nurses at Galway University Hospital's emergency department have voted unanimously in favour of industrial action.
It's the latest measure announced by the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation in its ongoing protest against overcrowding.
The action will take the form of a work to rule and will begin on February 3rd - and more hospitals are due to hold their own ballots in the coming days.
Claire Treacy is the INMO's Industrial Relations Officer for the Galway region.
