That is in direct contradiction to the HSE’s statements that care of patients should be given as close to their homes as possible, and that there should be a greater emphasis on delivery of care in the local community. Long trips on top of treatments and trauma can hardly constitute excellent care. ... read full story / add a comment

"Argos announced profits in 2006 exceeding 8.1 billion euro whilst profits for the first half of this year are up 50%.

However the prize for the company in winning this battle would be to break the power of the worker's union in Argos" ... read full story / add a comment
