The very simple message I want to send to the Department, Bus Éireann...
- Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Health Services Staff (24 Sep 2024)
Mary Butler: I thank the Deputy. This is a very specialised service. It is important to note that the orthoptist service ceased in July 2024 due to maternity leave. In fairness to the HSE in the area, after the senior orthoptist resigned in October 2023, even without the derogation, agency staff were used to continue until July 2024. Unfortunately, while every effort is being made to secure more...
