There Have Been Claims That Student Nurses Who Are On Placement Are Not Being Paid For Their Work

Nurses have aired their frustrations on social media

Last week Health Minister Simon Harris announced that student nurses would be paid for their efforts at tackling Covid-19. 

In light of the claims Aontu leader Peadar Toibin has called for the immediate reopening of written question facility for TDs.

This week the government decided to suspend the Dail for a fortnight, but deputy Toibin said it was TDs' job as election representatives to ask questions.
