President Michael D Higgins has paid tribute to nurses in Ireland and around the world on International Nurses Day, praising their "irreplaceable contribution" to health and wellbeing.
— President of Ireland May 12, 2021 Mary Elizabeth Jones is a clinical nurse manager in the Mater Misericordiae University Hospital in Dublin. During the height of the pandemic, Ms Jones moved out of accommodation she shared to avail of the HSE Temporary Accommodation Scheme."I was able to worry about work and not worry about my family and my fiancé, so it definitely took a lot of the pressure off but it was very hard," Ms Jones said.
"Covid is still part of our day-to-day work but we are definitely seeing a reduction in cases", she said. "People are a lot better with it and we are hoping that as we see more vaccinations that will continue." However, Ms Butler said general practice nurses throughout the country have also been working hard to ensure that other essential services continue.
Pity we don't pay them instead of a meaningless tribute from a meaningless president
