Covid-19 Vaccination Programme: Statements (22 Apr 2021)

Peadar Tóibín: Last week the Minister flew a kite about 30 year old people being vaccinated.

Peadar Tóibín: I think it is an extraordinary pay increase given the fact the economy is under what is potentially unprecedented pressure at the moment and that other members of the health service are operating under extraordinary pressures. They have difficult jobs and are not being remunerated properly for them. What does waiving a salary mean, exactly? What economic conditions would trigger the...
