Welfare and Safety of Workers in the Public Health Service: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2023-02-22
============================================================

Eugene Murphy (CC), Agricultural Panel

I thank everybody for their contributions. I will call the Minister in a moment, before we return to Senator Hoey, as the Labour Party proposed this motion. Among others, I have been talking about all front-line workers in recent weeks, including gardaí, nursing staff and teachers. For a number of years, we have let things drag on. I do not think there is one person, on whichever side of the House, who is not worried at the moment. We are all worried. I know it is also of concern to the Minister, who I thank for being here. I call on him to respond.
