The Psychological Society of Ireland and USI recently campaigned on equality of funding for those studying for doctorates in counselling and psychologists in training. They are not funded, nor do they receive a salary during training unlike those completing doctorates in clinical psychology who receive a salary, a 60% fee reduction and sponsorship from the HSE. I ask the Minister to treat counselling psychologists with equality. When will the national psychology placement office be established?
