Public Sector Staff
Dail Éireann — 2024-07-09
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

Many areas of important public services such as mental health, disability, special needs, the health service and schools have chronic problems in recruiting and retaining enough people. We have staff shortages and this leads to a lot of hardship for many people who need those public services. Has the Minister any plans, especially in the context of the upcoming budget, to address this problem?
