Irish Government intentions to fund nursing places welcome – Dillon

Sinn Féin MLA Linda Dillon has welcomed indications that the Irish Government is set to fund 250 student nursing places in the north.

Responding to media reports today, the party’s health spokesperson said:

“Reports that the Irish Government is set to invest €10 million to fund 250 student nursing places in the north is a hugely positive development.  

“Savage Tory cuts have resulted in hundreds of student nursing places being axed at a time when our health service is facing chronic staff shortages.

“This vital cross-border funding would ensure that we can train hundreds of nurses and midwives and provide a welcome boost to our local universities who would benefit from extra student places.

“I will be writing to the Department of Health in the south asking for confirmation on these reports.”

Increasing Road Tolls while households are still battling to make ends meet during a cost of living crisis is wrong.They shouldn't go ahead.
Tolls disproportionately impact those living in rural areas who are forced to use a private car as public transport options just dont exist

All workers should receive a fair wage & have their rights protected. 

Too many workers right across our society are underpaid & undervalued, & are struggling with the rising cost of living.

We must work together to help put more money into the pockets of workers & families.

I wrote to @chhcalling last week emphasising the gravity of the political situation & need for urgent action.

Sinn Féin will now attend the political roundtable on Monday. 

We stand ready to engage on finances, which should conclude promptly, with the Executive immediately…
