Up to 15,000 carers still waiting to receive €1k pandemic bonus

Home and Community Care Ireland chief executive Joseph Musgrave said carers in private and non-profit companies were 'in limbo' waiting for the bonus.

Up to 15,000 carers working for private or voluntary companies on HSE contracts are still waiting for the pandemic bonus even though HSE carers have been paid.

Controversy has arisen in recent days over the slow payment of this bonus across the health sector, despite the payment being announced on January 19.
