International Nurses Day: After crisis don't forget sacrifice of frontline workers, says President

President Michael D Higgins has said it will be awful if people forget the heroic efforts of frontline workers during the Covid-19 pandemic and went back to the way it was before when they were not always fully valued.

The President, who was speaking on International Nurses Day, said everybody has gained hard-won wisdom with regard to the value of frontline workers, such as nurses, and those providing essential services across the economy.
