Taoiseach Micheal Martin has given a timeline for the Covid bonus due to be paid to healthcare workers to applaud their frontline work during the pandemic.
Speaking live on Galway Bay FM on Thursday morning, Micheal Martin was quizzed on a number of issues such as the payment and the ongoing turf war over legislation being put forward by Eamon Ryan.
The Fianna Fail leader did confirm that the €1,000 healthcare bonus - a one-off payment promised in January - would be paid "in the next few weeks" to every healthcare worker including student nurses.
