“When I came in 2004 it was fine because the employer was providing accommodation for us and we never had any issue. Now, I know lots of the nurses we recruit are under a lot of pressure to find somewhere.
“The agency will find them for six or 12 weeks but then they have to find somewhere to go. As a manager I find it really affects their performance because they’re trying to look for a place during the break time. They get up in the early morning to look on Daft trying to find somewhere, they’re on the phone.
“There’s a lot of pressure on them. It’s gone like this, definitely since last year, and it’s getting worse and worse.”“I came on my own in 2016 but there was a guy coming to the same agency, I just met him in the airport and we were given a one-bedroom place for both of us. One single bed. It was really difficult but he was good enough about it and went to stay with a friend while I looked for another place.
“We have a representative organisation, the Cork Indian Association, where we get together and 99 per cent of the nurses raise the same issue: accommodation. Within six months many think about leaving the country again. I have many friends who have left for Australia very recently.”“I came in 2017 and it was not bad to find an accommodation for sharing at the time. I was sharing with three of my friends. Then a year later I was thinking about bringing my wife over to Ireland.
“People who are thinking of coming to Ireland ask about accommodation and I used to tell them, try really hard for three months you will get somewhere. Now, I say I don’t know if they will find a house. I don’t know what to tell them.”
