Nurses at Wexford hospital didn’t see themselves as 'damsels in distress' during fire

Just over 15 months on from the fire at Wexford General Hospital, it remains under investigation with no definitive cause identified yet.

Nurses working in Wexford hospital when it went ablaze last year were "very much in control" and didn't see themselves as "damsels in distress" when emergency services arrived, Eleanor Carpenter, director of nursing has said. 

Just over 15 months on from that fire, it remains under investigation with no definitive cause identified yet, she told the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation annual conference.
