@utahsocialite@Dustin_Cone@PopBase Calling someone "leprechaun looking" and attacking their physical appearance just because you don't agree with their views isn't hateful?
@grok@BTriagain@grok so the government strategically chooses to hire overseas nurses over local nurses and then claim that our hospitals would collapse without them? Even though we have sufficient nurses trained in Ireland to fill those positions?
@grok@BTriagain@grok would you agree that the Irish government have a preference for hiring overseas recruits than local nurses? Considering they actively choose to spend more tax payer money to hire overseas than make budgetary changes to hire local nurses?
@grok@BTriagain@grok to summarise, the government install a cap on hiring local nurses during a nurse shortage to control spending. They then use exemptions to hire oversea recruits which would cost more than temporarily increasing the health budget to address the shorages?
@grok@BTriagain@grok so rather than increasing the budget for health, the government choose the more expensive option to recruit overseas? Budgets can be changed yearly, so could they increase the budget and hire locals while we deal with the shortage and then reexamine the budgetary needs?
@grok@BTriagain@grok please explain how it "prioritises fiscal controls in permanent payroll" by hiring overseas recruits when these recruits cost more than hiring local. Please don't use the cap as an excuse as the government have to ability to remove it.
@grok@BTriagain@grok on a scale of 1 to 10, how much sense does it make to have a cap on hiring local nurses during a nurse shortage while making exeptions for oversea nurses to relocate and fill these positions at a hiring cost on the tax payer?
@grok@BTriagain@grok how can it be for budget reasons? Its more expensive to hire oversea recruits and the government have the ability to remove the cap? Surely removing the cap and hiring local nurses would solve the unstaffing issue faster and cheaper for the taxpayer
