NAS provides assistance to more than 1,500 disabled people each year with in-person advocacy interventions

Pickets have been placed at NAS locations across the country as part of the indefinite strike action – including in the south east at Kilkenny city, Gorey in County Wexford and Tipperary.

Regional Manager of NAS Micheál Walsh says all they want is the Labour Court recommendation to be implemented as it was in the pilots dispute.

The group was out last week and KCLR has previously heard from all sides including workers and Minister Heather Humphreys.
