Very well said........................COPY OF A LETTER TO THE EDITOR - IRISH INDEPENDENT - SATURDAY 22nd NOVEMBER 2014 DISGRACEFUL SCENES IN IRELAND Dear God! Am I supposed to be concerned that Joan Burton has been hit by a balloon? Enda Kenny says this is disgraceful. Really? Taoiseach, for your education, this is what disgraceful looks like: Its the two men I know in their 40s in our capital who killed themselves because their businesses failed in the crash, which was caused by Irish politicians. Its doing absolutely nothing, when youre the leader of the opposition, to hold an inept government to account - even though thats your absolute duty in a democracy. Its failing to pressurise government during the boom years to invest in hospitals, schools and 100-year-old leaky water pipes. Its throwing away €80m of our money to set up Irish Water. Its the death of my father this year from complications having developed a lung clot after lying on a hospital trolley. (He was in A&E simply to get three stitches in his head after a fall and wanted to go home during all of the first 24 hours. Then he deteriorated, had to go to a ward and then cost the taxpayer a bomb in useless rehabilitation costs for three months, before he eventually died in a room with eight other patients watching him). My father had paid twice over for his medical care (both public and private). This is a definition of disgraceful. Dr Maeve White Rathfarnham, Dublin 14
