Taoiseach says €1,000 bonus for frontline healthcare workers will be paid out as soon as possible




The Taoiseach Micheal Martin has said the €1,000 tax free bonus for frontline healthcare workers will be paid out as soon as possible.

Discussing the bonus on RTE, the Taoiseach said there is a number of issues to be worked out in terms of handing out the bonus but a panel will be set up to work with the HSE.

Martin’s comments come as there has been some questions surrounding the handing out of the bonus as some areas such as home carers and shop workers have been left off the list when it comes to getting the bonus.

However the Taoiseach stated that the bonus is being prioritised for those who worked in healthcare settings as they were deemed a higher risk setting.
