Ms Murphy has spoken with the school but said "there is no help, there is no support, there is no guidance". "I came here today to tell our MLAs to step up during this cost-of-living crisis and go back to work and sort out their problems," she said. "As an educated and highly-skilled nurse, it makes me feel like I am not valued and the people who I work with aren't valued by our MLAs," she added.
