Ireland has taken a big step to ease the immigration process for nurses, a critical job in the country. In response to a substantial visa backlog, the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland has announced a «one-off» extension of the validity of English tests for these nurses, extending the period for three months. This decision was prompted by the challenging situation faced by nearly 1,000 nurses from abroad. They were at risk of their completed English tests expiring before they could secure their visas to practice in Ireland. Think you check all the immigration boxes? Find out Nurses moving to Ireland for work in thehealthcare system from foreign countries are required to submit a completed English test as part of their visa application, in line with the standard practice in the country. This problem had previously emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic due to travel restrictions, which prevented applicants from traveling to Ireland to renew their tests or take necessary actions, leading to test expiration issues. “On recognition of the delays caused beyond the control of the applicants, NMBI decided to offer a once-off extension to nurses and midwives impacted by visa delays,” an NMBI spokesperson told The PIE.

Ireland's central bank chief Gabriel Makhlouf said on Wednesday further interest rate hikes should not be excluded, something markets do not expect at all, while Bundesbank President Joachim Nagel said the «late mile» to the inflation target may be the toughest. «While the market has been focusing on the prospects of rate cuts from (G10 central banks) next year, many of the respective central bankers have been pushing back against this speculation,» said Rabobank senior strategist Jane Foley. «As long as inflation remains above target, policy makers are likely to want to keep alive the risk of further tightening particularly since a significant drop in market rates could worsen inflationary risks.» The unloved yen failed to get much of a boost from a fall in U.S.
