Mandates Matter Sun Mar 16, 2025 13:00 | Dr James Allan
Winning elections is pointless without real change, says Dr James Allan. Right-wing leaders must take bold stances on immigration, Net Zero and the culture wars ? playing it safe will only lead to failure.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3The Pd's believe that everything should be paid for by the 'consumer'.
There is no such thing as a national health system in their credo or belief system.
the manouevers by the party include the direct running down of Health Infrastructure.
the creation of a small wealth community who are blinded to the issue or principle
of State Responsibility in Health care fully support the abdication in the Duty of Care
Policy. if you listen to hearsay evidence, the 'me' generation have denied to my face
that three local hospitals in Dublin are to be rationalised/amalgmated. make no
mistake , they have the full support of FF and specifically FF's Man in europe
(MR Mc Creevy). People of welath do not see the problem because their access
to care is different, for example a CF patient will have to get a bus to the Mater from
Tallaght/Walkinstown/Crumlin to get emergency treatment as the car /parking
situation is so appalling. this is to benefit the FF Vote majority in the Taiseach's
constituency. Super hospital s attract :-
1. Big Budget pharm sponsors.
2. Big Budget Consultants.
3. reduce litigation because of the vastness of their hierarchical structure.
4. Do not put patient care first.
This will continue with cabinet support.
Now the people who have need of answers about health issues are on the sideline.

We do not matter, the rich see the issue of profit and not patient care.
The culture of profit making has been allowed increase over ten years.
Please remember that when the taoiseach has his pint of bass and goes to the
Croker, the Irish people are a means of increasing wealth= they don't give a fuck.
the people who benefit are the cronies and usurpers of mandate.
Still looking into this and appartently the hospitals A/E rumoured for clousure serve a hundred people a day and can do so without having people waiting!
Their spokesperson reckons there is nothing in the story and reckons they have a bright future serving the accidently injured in the midwest.
All the same according the the shinners spokesperson that is a pattern evoling across the country of regional smaller hospitals being amalgamated in to super hospitals, its happening in Dublin and the north east.
Did any party get elected on this mandate?
The old Hospital Closure Routine - again
Here's how it works -
1. Start a rumour of hospital/department closure -usually a leak
2. The locals get up in arms
3. The local FF politician or the visiting taoiseach is met with protests.
4. He promises to do all in his power to reverse the decision
5. The decision is apparently reversed
6. The locals think the politician is a great man altogether -his support rises.
7. The locals think they have gained something when in reality they have only kept what they had.
8. While the locals are pre-occupied with the closure they have just lost something else without even noticing.
