Ms Phil Ní Sheaghdha:

The HSE tells us that once a person is placed on the payroll, he or she is counted, regardless of the orientation or adaptation that is required. There is a deficit. For those from non-EU communities, there is a period of adaptation that is required by An Bord Altranais. For those from EU member states, it is not the same; it is more about preceptorship and orientation to a different workplace.
