FF/FG/Green Government - Part 3 - Threadbanned User List in OP

The two sets of figures are discussing completely different things, no?

"Over 73% of nurses or midwives said they had considered leaving their work area over the last month." doesn't conflict at all with "an expected 1,800 Irish-educated nurses and midwives due to join the NMBI Register later this year", for example.

73% of workers in any job considering leaving it in the past month is a pretty damning indictment, regardless of if new junior hires are being made in large quantities.

It's not just the nurses leaving or planning to leave.

'Non-EU nurses are paying to come here': Ireland's place in global scramble for healthcare staff (thejournal.ie)

Having researched doctor migration in Ireland for years, Humphries believes that the first step to sorting out the HSE’s staffing woes is to find out why young doctors and nurses are leaving for Australia and other countries. 

“We train around 700 doctors a year, last year 432 of them applied for visas and went to Australia. We don’t know how many have gone to other countries. Although some of them are going because they want to travel, they are also going because they know they will be professionally better off there in terms of resourcing and staffing levels. 

But it’s not by Irish nurses, am I right? Not even EU nationals.

I notice You didn’t comment on the trolley figures. Would it be right so to think You’re not disputing them?

Sorry, didn't lose any credibility on nurse-bed ratios. Just couldn't be bothered continuing to correct all the misleading information being posted.

Why would I accept any INMO survey? Union surveys its own members to find reasons to look for more money. I wouldn't expect any other response to be honest.

My neighbour has considered leaving teaching about every two months for the last fifteen years.

And what are your thoughts on 432 of 700 Irish trained doctors last year moving to Australia (and more on top to other countries like Canada)?

Thats not someone "considering moving". And its not a Union's survey. Its cold hard emigration data.

Do you think thats a sign of a well run, nice to work in health system?

Teachers have it a lot easier than nurses tbh.

But the immovable object of single public sector pay rates for the whole country is on collision course with the unstoppable force of Dublin (and the other cities) housing crises

Meantime the green clown Roderick O’Gorman wanted to ship out Ukranian refugees from their ‘home’ they were in for the last year to make space available for incoming asylum seekers?

Where is the logic behind this? Move a settled ( well for a year must surely be classified as settled ) group out , who I might add have school going children. This isn’t the first time this was tried.

Yes the group ( 220 I believe ) were told yesterday they won’t be moved but to even concoct a sick thought like this is wrong.

Its inhumane.

He is seriously incompetent and should not have been made a minister.

Totally agree. One of those refugees was interviewed on RTE yesterday, and She hoped Her son will play for Kerry.

But ROG tried other ideas. Then again I wouldn’t expect anything else from a green - live in their cocooned world without a thought for the person on the street. And if memory serves me right, they tried this before somewhere.

Saw an article about that alright saying the families have settled and were working in the area.

It's over a year now, if they are working surely they've had long enough and should go get their own accommodation and make space.

It doesn't matter what they are fleeing from in this context. If they are working they should find their own accommodation the same as any Irish person has to do.

I cannot agree with You. We are talking about people who had to flee their country due to an invasion. I believe the only personal belongings they brought with them were what would fit in a suitcase/s.

So I would think they had practically no possessions arriving here. They ( in this instance ) were housed in Caherciveen ROG in his wisdom wanted to ship them out, where we are led to believe numbers 220, which I would guess must be 50(?) families. Apparently a good few of them are working so are paying their taxes I assume.

You try and start from scratch with no appliances to start a house. And as someone else points out there are 20 properties across the entire county, which in itself isn’t enough. To expect them to rent/ buy a house/apartment in Ireland with incredibly high prices is very unjust.

Notice how no one is calling Varadkar incompetent. The proposed hate speech legislation was contentious long before the public consultation. They are ignoring that the results came in 70% against. This govmt has an abusive relationship with voters that is even attracting attention from abroad.

Agree re opinion polls but for Varadkar to so casually dismiss an official Public Consultation - concerning an already contentious proposal that limits freedom of speech - is an absolute abuse of power.
