Order of Business (Resumed)
11:00 am
Eamon Scanlon (Fianna Fail)
It is important and I wish to make the point. I thank the Cathaoirleach for his time. The lady works a four-day week and should work 34 hours. However, she works 40 hours. Nurses do not get paid overtime. No nurse I spoke to finishes work on time. They are supposed to get hours back in lieu. However, this might happen six months later. We must deal with the issue and the sooner the better.
