Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

-----I say to her that is not the way to look at the training of young Irish men and women who graduate to become nurses. She is saying to them that they should not take up these jobs in Irish hospitals. These 1,000 jobs are outside the employment framework and I hope that many of those young trained nurses who have worked abroad and those from the three years' graduate classes involved will take up the opportunity to have experience and competence acquired in Irish hospitals. After all, they are the best-trained nurses in the world and we would like to see them work in our hospitals in their own country.
