Aontú outline plans to keep healthcare workers in Ireland

There have been calls locally to ease the drain of recently qualified health professionals to other countries.

Many doctors, nurses and other workers have been forced to seek employment opportunities abroad.

General Election candidate in the Donegal constituency, Mary T. Sweeney says with an increased strain on the health sector, Ireland cannot afford to lose its talent.

The Aontú candidate feels better candidates and greater awards, as outlined in her party's 'Operation Shamrock' would go some way to improving the situation.
