'They don't feel valued': Sinn Féin to table Dáil motion on fair pay for student nurses

"They are doing really valuable work in the healthcare system, and what they have been justly demanding now for a long time, is a fair wage"

A review ordered by the Department of Health's Professor Tom Collins recommended that student nurses be paid €100 a week on placement, which was rejected by the nurses and unions. File picture. 

Sinn Féin will bring a motion to the Dáil tomorrow to "ensure student nurses and midwives receive fair pay without delay".

The Cabinet is set to discuss the controversial issue of student nurses remuneration during their meeting today.
