There are just 22 neurologists in Ireland for a population of over 4 million people, compared with 600 neurologists in Belgium, which has around 10 million people (RTE).
And remember, these 22 neurologists were the best that could be achieved during the greatest boom in Irish history.
What chance that we’ll see 23 any time soon?
I’d be very interested to know the average remuneration of a neurologist in Ireland and in Belgium.
