Nursing Education
Dail Éireann — 2020-12-10
============================================================

David Cullinane (SF), Waterford

I am sure the Minister is aware that there is a strong campaign under way by student nurses and midwives for fair pay in respect of the work they do. I have heard the Minister state that he is committed to resolving this issue, but student nurses and midwives need more than words now; they need action. I have also heard the Minister say he is committed to a review. It must be ensured that this issue is not, as has been the case in the past, buried in reviews but that it is actually dealt with by the Minister. Will he outline what action he intends to take on this issue in the days and weeks to come in order to resolve it?
