Richard O'Donoghue (II), Limerick County

I wish Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett well in his treatment. Please God everything goes well for him.
This question is for the Minister of Health and relates to the freeze on UHL. Two Limerick people are coming home from Australia. One is a physiotherapist and the other is an ICU nurse. The ICU nurse had been told they had a position in the hospital but they received a letter to say it was sorry that there is a freeze on taking on staff in UHL. These are two Irish people who want to return home and join the health service, which I would welcome. If the Minister could intervene, that would be welcome. This person was offered a job in UHL but is now being told they cannot have it.
