    Genuine question: As a qualified doctor would she not be many times more valuable working for her own people in Sudan than over here? There are probably Irish volunteer doctors working in Sudan.

    @Tony Murphy: depending on her specialty. She probably arrived to work in Ireland on an Employment Permit, which was sponsored by the hospital that wanted to employ her. Before the permit was issued the government satisfied themselves that there was a shortage of that doctors type in Ireland and the EU and that having her working at the Irish hospital would be beneficial to Ireland.

    There are good few Irish doctors and nurses who decide to go work abroad, because the salary is much higher in other countries (US and UAE), and the work intensity is about the same or lower. This causes shortage id doctors in Ireland, requiring hospitals to seek for doctors abroad. But you choose to blame the symptom, not the cause of the problem.
