Thomas P. Broughan
Question:357. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Health the reason a significant number of nursing posts in hospitals across Ireland have recently been advertised by the Health Service Executive to be filled by foreign nationals when thousands of nurses are graduating from colleges and universities in this State each year; the reason an extended period of training in theatre and critical care is not made available to recent Irish graduates rather than sourcing staff from overseas for these specialties.
