The General Secretary of the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation has expressed concerned that the Health and Safety Authority is not inspecting hospitals in relation to impact of Covid-19 on workers there.
Phil Ni Sheaghdha told RTÉ's News at One, that "we believe that is the central role of the Health and Safety Authority and that it's missing from the pitch".
She said the INMO is "really disappointed" that they are still awaiting a response concerning the Health and Safety Authority's role in this.
Ms Ni Sheaghdha said as a result of their work, their members are now becoming unwell, with a very serious infection, which has very serious long-term consequences for them.
