Health Board blunder wrecks students’ study and wedding plans

A WEXFORD couple have put their wedding and career plans on hold because of a blunder over funding for a psychology course at Trinity College.

The three-year Doctoral Programme in Clinical Psychology programme was to begin early last month, funded by the Northern Area Health Board of the Eastern Regional Health Authority.

Authorities contracted 12 students to work for three years after completing the doctorate, beginning the course on a 32,000 euro salary.
