Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality

Employment Equality (Abolition of Mandatory Retirement Age) Bill 2014: Discussion

9:30 am

Ms Imelda Browne:

I have seen this in general in nursing services. Many experienced people left over a few years. They used to mentor younger staff. We did not have enough people to mentor and help some of our young students and foreign national nurses, who were not only adjusting to a new job, but to a new culture. It was stressful for everyone. This problem will be repeated in the next few years unless we address the issue.
