The DEPT Of Health has become a disaster area. It was really bad with Ms Hearney but NITHING like it has become with Reilly we are getting third world service for 1st class payments 100euro just to sit in a waiting room for hours on end just. To be seen by a doctor and if you are unfortunate to be admitted well if you. Get. A bed within twenty-four hours wow you are either. Very very lucky or you are unfortunately very very sick. And as for the leaks well that is the caliber of the people that are running our country Useless shower of failures at everything they. Ever worked at and show no respect or confidentiality to anyone of us HOW. tell me can anyone have faith with Reilly,
Kenny and all of the cabinet And as for Gilmore what a shower of moppets we have at the Helm……

Privatise RTE. at least then you aren’t paying tax towards bias.

In fairness I don’t think the public really care if a politician is sleeping with the neighbour … and the postman, or wears Y-fronts instead of boxers.
People are more concerned about what is being done to sort out the various messes we’re in.
The leaks show lack of courage on the government’s part. It doesn’t inspire confidence when these are the methods employed to inform the public – no matter how unpopular or sensitive the subject. The government shows lack of strength when they don’t prove responsibility and accountability when (and by) communicating with the public. The media it seems are enabling it and in collusion – no guts or balls resulting in lack of respect to both.

Why doesn’t Enda grasp the nettle and run with it. Make a name for himself for posterity. Be the leader who got the appropriate effective legislation thru the Dail. Get cross party agreement to throw off all party whips and go for it. Throw the spotlight on the legislature. See what the elected lads and lassies in the chamber are really made of. Can they be people of real substance or remain people of straw?
He has nothing personally to lose. This would be much more significant than a cv that reads over forty years in the Dail and Taoiseach and leader of his party in terrible times. Why not be the Taoiseach who enacted the most difficult and far reaching legislation on this emotive issue and remove the tragically farcical situation that pertains at present.
Polish the cocones Enda. Get out the Brasso.
I won’t be holding my breath.

@ Peter great sentiments there but Kenny needs to be taken by the hand at every turn He needs his speech in front of him before he speaks and if anyone asks him a question he needs thee answer in front of him also that is why Kenny never gives an . He is the biggest Muppet of them all.Kenny is a pure Disgrace to the Electoret ever

someone died.

Damn autocorrect

So is the inability to use the spacebar … well if you’re going to be pedantic about the work of others at least make sure your own is up to scratch!

On the matter at hand, this should be put to the people to decide, not a government who are dancing around the issue. If they can’t make the decision then at the very least give us the chance to have our say!

Who knows Desmond, if that “failed bill” to introduce legislation as required by the X case had been passed last April maybe most of us would have never heard of Praveen Halappanavar?

bit cynical there, although maybe you’re a bit thrown by seeing a politician actually representing people and pushing for a change to outdated and dangerous ideas.

The last time Clare Daly tried to introduce this bill, James Reilly while rejecting it, made several suggestions on how it could be improved. She has included these this time – cant wait to hear his excuses this time.
