Motion Text
That this House deplores the proposal by the Department of Health to withdraw bursaries from Irish nursing students from 1st December and considers that such a measure will not only undermine the ability of Irish students to undertake nurse training but will inevitably exacerbate the nursing shortage faced by the NHS.
