Varadkar swamped by angry letters from nurses

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has been inundated with letters from furious nurses and hospital staff and their families over his call for holiday leave to be postponed.

Correspondence sent to Mr Varadkar, obtained by the Irish Examiner , shows the outrage expressed by health staff who say the Taoiseach’s remarks “hit out at frontline staff and demoralised a struggling nurse workforce”.
