Róisín Shortall: This question relates to the background to the nurses' dispute and what transpired in respect of the Public Service Pay Commission.

It reads: "The overall picture of the nursing and midwifery workforce is one of...

Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Public Service Pay Commission Reports (7 Feb 2019)

Róisín Shortall: The difficulty is that the constant line from the Minister, his Department and the Government is that there is no evidence of any difficulty in recruiting and retaining nurses. That is the line that is being put out, and it is entirely unhelpful to the current situation. It flies in the face of the evidence before our eyes. The HSE has said that difficulties in recruitment and retention...

This is the evidence before the Minister's eyes, yet the Government continues to create the impression that there is no...

Róisín Shortall: When did the Minister do that?

National Children's Hospital: Statements (13 Feb 2019)

Róisín Shortall: I am sharing time with Deputy Eamon Ryan. It is quite clear that what we have here is a most shocking failure of governance and an inability to protect the public purse on the part of the Departments of Health and Public Expenditure and Reform, under their respective Ministers. It is simply not credible that the Minister for Health did not tell his colleagues for over two months that there...

National Children's Hospital: Statements (13 Feb 2019)

Róisín Shortall: It is not credible that he did not tell his colleagues and if he did not, he certainly should have. The Minister has not answered that.
