@rtenews: A doctor at Tallaght University Hospital says a year working in Australia showed her 'how different life could be'. Áine Harris is one of more than 300,000 public sector workers striking today over pay. Tap the link in our bio for full coverage of the largest strike in Ireland for almost two decades. #ireland #doctor #tallaght #strike

albatross :

Should those doctors not be urging th Government to increase the pay for everyone and not just themselves? A well looked after private sector would ease the very heavy burden on overworked clinicians

moggymoo1992 :

All workers. All low-middle income workers need support. Cost of living and rising PRSI contributions, continuation of USC, forced contributions for what? A tenner a week when we’re elderly, choosing to heat or eat?

user2287549817032 :

100 hours a week . Doubt it

saoirsecollins232 :

Our undervalued, overworked NCHDs deserve so much more.

bread :

it's the whole country public and private sector there needs to be an all out strike. we all need to stand together. fair play to you and others today.

Bawling_for_toupee :

Doctors do not need higher salaries. They need to stop building the entire system around consultants so that they can give them better conditions

Dave :

Take USC away

SimonIreland :

Australia doesn't have FF FG

Ánti-Career Guidance :

What’s sadder than someone who felt forced to emigrate Ireland for a better life? Someone who returns to Ireland and resents being “home” (self included) 💔 A whole generation being given no choice but to fall out of love with Ireland. Honestly so sad. “But then just go back to Oz”. No, you’re allowed to want to live in the same country as your parents and siblings.

Laura :

Doctors want to save our lives, the government clearly doesn’t.

The Soup :

Huge support for all the healthcare workers. They deserve a raise. Teachers must be tired with only 4 months of holidays a year

ALJ :

More of this to send the message

Nialler :

That's the Irish government for you. They really don't care about the Irish people or workers think that they really believe it's them in office that's keeping this country going and not the rest of us.

private27456 :

We pay to put people through college then they emigrate because it’s ridiculous conditions here. Shame

FrodoWaggins :
