Urgent: Our call for government action re the removal of the ONLY financing option for GEM has furnished no results. The BOI loan will be removed from 31st July. What are we supposed to do then? @SimonHarrisTD @Paschald @UCDSU @LeoVaradkar @MichealMartinTD @IrishTimes @rtenews

Morning! Today, I am announcing an additional €2million to expand scholarships for higher education. This will benefit those with a disability, lone parents and first time mature students
This scholarship programme will be extended to cover graduate entry medicine.

In May @bankofireland decided to cease the only #GraduateEntryMedicine loans making GEM only accessible to those who could privately fund >€16k a yr. Please join us in campaigning #GEMforALL so anyone can become a doctor irrespective of their background.

Time to listen to our NCHDs and take their concerns, careers and work-life balance (or lack thereof) seriously.

Thank you @med_indonews for asking me to contribute to this article on behalf of current, future and past Graduate Entry Medicine students highlighting the discontinuation of @bankofireland GEM loan. Over €16,000 per year in fees without any financial support is not sustainable

@HSE_HR are betting that if they make you work crazy hours, force you to work 24hr shifts, demand you spend your spare time studying for mandatory exams, that you will not have the appetite to chase things as simple as correct pay and access to payslips. #StandingUp4NCHDs

Why are doctors threatening industrial action?
2 months since I changed hospital. I have worked 8x24hr shifts in addition to my working normal hours & extended days caring for patients & covering colleagues
I have not been paid a minute of this overtime

Glad to see this issue covered by the @thejournal_ie. The future funding of higher education cannot continue to be this uncertain for students. We need action on the cost of college now. It’s 6 years since Cassells report and fees only going up. It’s beyond time to #AbolishFees

This morning I’ll be asking Minister Harris how he is going to help graduate medical students facing the loss of the only loan which had a moratorium on repayments until after they completed their studies. Will share details of response here #SenatorForStudents

I have my notes prepared, have spoken to the students affected, and I’m ready to ask the minister to make a statement on the withdrawal of the BOI GEM loan from the market 💪

Tomorrow at 10.30 the Minster will be in the Seanad responding to my request to make a statement on future funding options for graduate medical students following BOI's withdrawal of graduate loan from the market. The fees are crazy! You can watch here👉oireachtas.ie/en/oireachtas-…

Four senior doctors in their forties who haven’t spent a full weekend with their children in the last year are begrudged that their employer has to pay eighty hours overtime a week that they don’t want to do. Sunday independent publishes HSE spin. independent.ie/news/four-jun…

On annual leave and hospital have put no less than 10 calls straight through to my mobile - including one patient family member direct through! Doing my best to ignore…

Amazing goal. We support all alternative paths to careers and to higher education. Hopefully @SimonHarrisTD can consider the extreme socio-economics barriers to graduate entry medicine in this effort to reform our reliance on the Leaving Certificate. @kclr96fm

Will be on @kclr96fm shortly talking about my work to reform pathways and options for students after school. Tune in!

We've a chronic shortage of doctors, the only bank offering a loan to the Graduate Entry Medicine students is discontinuing it. These students are not looking for free money/discounted loans, they'll have a debt of over €100k to repay.

Please don't ever write 2 gay men in Sligo.
