Nurse: Mulholland 'should not have been working unsupervised'

A nurse has told a Dublin Circuit Criminal Court jury that a former colleague on trial for assaulting elderly patients should not have been working unsupervised due to lack of training and alleged "problems".

Ms Sharon Baxter agreed with defence counsel, Mr Giollaiosa O' Lideadha BL, in cross-examination, that if the accused had previously been dismissed from another hospital due to inexperience and lack of knowledge she should not have been working as a night duty nurse.
