If she was in the civil service she'd almost certainly get a promotion for such declarations of commitment and dedication.

FFS - We should be ashamed that in the wealthiest part of the world(Western Europe) we are slipping to US levels of a social conscience.
Homeless families living in emergency hotel accommodation have expressed concern that they will have no proper access to food for the duration of the storm.

Families living in hotels are not allowed to cook in their rooms, or have fridges.

Michelle Dempsey, who is living with her three children in a hotel on the outskirts of Dublin city, told RTÉ News that she would normally feed the children after school at her mother's house.

She says she has bought bread and butter but can't buy perishable goods such as yogurts and cold meats because there is no fridge in the room.

For the umpteenth time, it really is not about the money. As a junior anaesthetist, my daughter would probably be paid a bit more under Jeremy's proposals, but like most of her colleagues, is four-square against them.

Work - "What's that" I hear them saying. :D


Things heating up in Langerland. Roof has just blown off the stand in GAA grounds in Passage West, a nice little place on the coast about 10km or so from Cork City.

Don't know about England but in Ireland the junior doctors are treated like sh1te. I am 100% on their side and the side of nurses and some others working in the health service. 100% against the assorted non-front line overpaid deadwood though.

Agreed
The NHS in England is now simply a way to massage unemployment figures

They are better paid in south than north, even when the euro was 140 to the £

Getting a bit scary now. One of the stands in Cork City soccer ground has collapsed. That would have been pretty solid. Not looking forward to the next few hours.

Not really on about pay for junior doctors. More about conditions, work hours etc. They are treated as the lowest of the low in the service.

Nurses here are paid sh1te though. They have fecking university degrees and you'd be paid more working on a checkout in Dunnes Stores. That is scandalous no matter what. No wonder all the Irish nurses are f-cking off abroad, including to England, to seek out better pay and probably conditions.
