Imagine pouring four years of hard work into earning your degree, signing your employment contract, and quitting your job only to be told days before starting that your new role in the HSE has been abruptly "paused". That is the heartbreaking reality for Mayo healthcare graduates like Lucy Brennan and Mae Hession, who are now forced onto jobseeker’s benefit while frontline vacancies remain unfilled.
Following pay budget overspends, the HSE has tightened financial controls across four regions, creating what local representatives call a recruitment freeze in all but name. It’s a frustrating contradiction: as patient waiting times soar and millions continue to be spent on temporary agency staff.
The very nurses trained to heal our system are left with no choice but to look at emigrating to Australia or Canada. While health officials insist these controls are essential to restore budgetary discipline and protect patient care, affected workers are left completely in the dark without a clear timeline. Our young healthcare workers stepped up to serve. Isn't it time the country stood by them?

The Dáil has heard that a grandparent wrote to Tánaiste Simon Harris, offering to give up his dialysis treatment and trade it so that his three-year-old grandson, who is non-verbal, can get speech and language therapy.View quoted post on X

@fiannafailparty, @FineGael and independent TDs in Government have sat across from families affected by scoliosis and spina bifida care, heard their experiences and described what happened to their children as disgraceful and unacceptable.
Families have been promised support. Those promises must now translate into action.
The question for those TDs is whether they will bring that same message directly to the Minister for Health @CarrollJennifer, @SimonHarrisTD and @MichealMartinTD, and support families’ calls for a full, open and transparent statutory Tribunal of Inquiry.
