A third of nurses pay full €150 registration fee

More than a third of the country’s 64,000 nurses and midwives have paid their regulatory authority the full registration fee of €150.

The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) had urged its members to pay only last year’s €100 fee.

However, the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI) has found just one in every 14 nurses and midwives have paid €100.
