Nurses’ pay, property tax and sickening pensions

It’s not a scheme, it’s a scam.

Employing highly trained graduate nurses at low pay is ridiculous, when senior and middle managers throughout the public sector and Health Service Executive are being paid in the region of €100,000-plus every year.

It would be such an interesting exercise to see how many of these have relevant third level business qualifications, which should be a mandatory requirement for such posts. Why not tax high earners more, and by high earners I mean people earning in excess of €70,000pa, and pay our nurses what they deserve.
