It’s been an extremely stressful week for medical professionals who are already dealing with an extremely stressful year.

The Minister has confirmed some patients information has been leaked on the Dark Web following the attack.
And now Bloomberg is reporting the hackers say the HSE has until Monday to pay the 20 million dollar ransom or more details will be released.
Stephen Donnelly says there will be a full investigation into what happened and how the hackers managed to get in.
