The Government announced in November that they planned to have up to 500 places in the Organic Farm Scheme, yet the Departments own figures now suggest it will be limited to just 300.

Sinn Féin will be bringing a motion before the Dáil next week calling for student nurses and midwives to be paid for their invaluable work on the front line & rejecting the insulting proposal of €100 pay.
