Overworked nurses paying thousands for ‘inappropriate’ rental properties, INMO conference hears

Nurse at Cork University Hospital and INMO first vice president Ester Fitzgerald told the conference that young nurses are renting in ‘totally inappropriate’ houses.

Landlords in Cork charge nurses thousands every month to rent houses last renovated almost 30 years ago, a senior Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation (INMO) official has said.

Another nurse said a mortgage is only a dream now on her wages.
