Our figures for infection among healthcare workers are the highest globally, and a third of them were nurses and midwives. That is quite shocking. I have no doubt but that this must make the people Ms Ní Sheaghdha represents feel very angry. It is over a year ago since I met Ms Ní Sheaghdha on picket lines when nurses were striking for their pay increase. In a yes-no answer, have all nurses received that pay increase as a result of that strike?
