The Taoiseach has said the €1,000 bonus payment scheme that acknowledges public healthcare workers during the Covid-19 pandemic will be rolled out as soon as possible.
Micheál Martin said Minister for Public Expenditure Michael McGrath and Minister for Health Stephen Donnelly will work that out with the HSE.
Public healthcare workers who worked on the frontline are to receive a once-off €1,000 tax free payment under a plan passed by Cabinet yesterday.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, Mr Martin said the list is "more or less" finalised, but a panel will be established because it is "complex" in terms of categories of workers. "There will be a panel created to try and look at categories there may be issues around," he said, adding that there is some work to do yet on some areas.
