Irish nurses and midwives must pay €100 every year to a Government agency and a Laois councillor wants it abolished.
Cllr Aisling Moran says she was not aware of the fee and was surprised when one of her constituents told her about it.
“In 2020, of all years to ask nurses to pay €100, and to request this payment one month before Christmas. In March 2020 we were pleading to all Irish nurses, nationally , and around the globe to be on call for Ireland, the following year we ask them to pay €100 for the privilege,” she said at the December council meeting.
