Two off duty nurses have been praised after they assisted a vulnerable person on the streets of Dublin recently as temperatures dropped to -4C.
The act of kindness was highlighted by Dublin Fire Brigade who posted a tweet commending the nurses for their action as they attended to person who was found lying on the ground on Wednesday night.
In a tweet Dublin Fire Brigade said the following “Overnight a vulnerable person was found on the ground by 2 off duty nurses. Ground temp was – 4°C, firefighters from Dolphins Barn station & @AmbulanceDublin attended.
“In this cold spell, check on vulnerable neighbours!”
It is understood the pair assisted the person until Fire Crews and an ambulance arrived at the scene.
The kind act came on a day when some 37,000 nurses took to the picket lines in protest over the current retention and pay issues in the sector.
