NEWS FROM IRELAND

CRISIS IN IRISH HOSPITALS IS A NATIONAL DISGRACE

Opinion: The never-ending mess that poses as the Irish Health Care System achieved yet another unwanted milestone recently as it was revealed that the 667 patients who were waiting on hospital trolleys for full admission to hospital is the largest number ever recorded.

Overflow of Patients from an Irish Hospital Accident and Emergency Ward into a Corridor
Overflow of Patients from an Irish Hospital Accident and Emergency Ward into a Corridor

For decades now the frontline for Irish hospitals has been the Accident and Emergency (A&E) service. It is in these wards where car accident victims, stroke victims, sufferers from minor and major injuries as well as drunkards and drug abusers vie for the limited medical capacity available. The staff who operate these desperate places deserve every credit for their patience and compassion. Anyone who has ever visited one of these wards or who has had the misfortune to be a patient in one of them knows that at times they can resemble a scene from a war movie.

The Irish Health Care System has been under-funded for many years now and was further hit in the wake of the economic crash of 2008. The EU/IMF/ECB provided loans to successive Irish governments to keep the ATM machines working, to pay state employees, but most of all, BUT MOST OF ALL, to pay back the Irish Banks loans to the 'Bond-holders' of the German and French banks. This was blackmail in its most naked form and shows the European Union in the light that it deserves to be viewed in. Every man (or country) for himself. The idea that Ireland (or Greece or Cyprus for that matter) is part of a 'community' is risible.

The consequence for the Hospitals of this hijacking of Irish funds by the EU has been that wards have been closed, staff numbers reduced, capacity reduced, and all at the exact moment that tens of thousands of Irish citizens abandoned their private health insurance because they could not afford it any more.

The result has been 6, 12 or even 24 hour waits on hospital trolleys in A&E wards for patients, waiting for full admission to the hospital so they can receive the care they have been diagnosed as requiring. Those who still have health insurance can game the system and jump the queue, disgracefully being allowed to use publicly-owned health facilities for their private health care.

Appointments for MRI scans, for meetings with Oncologists, and even for blood tests can all take weeks, months or even years, depending on the service required.

Vested interests within the Health System carefully protect their private fifedoms while at the other end of the scale some patients gleefully access the ridiculously generous Irish Courts and sue everyone and everything that moves.

In short, the Irish Health Care System is a creaking mess, consuming more and more Euro yet never seeming to get any better.

The announcement by the current Minister for Health that private hospital beds are to be funded to alleviate the current crisis is merely the latest bandage being applied to what is a massive gunshot wound. The use of private hospital beds has always been the case over the last number of years (decades). Superficial sound-bites and political posturing continue to be the order of the day while the weary Irish citizenry put up with it.

We deserve better.

BIG SURGE IN IRISH PASSPORT HOLDERS

The annual 'Henley Passport Index' has revealed that Irish Passports continue to be in big demand. The 'power' of a passport is most often judged by the countries that it can be used to visit without needing a Visa. Most of the top countries are in the EU but US and Canadian passport-holders are also well-served.

Irish Passport Office
Irish Passport Office

Germany (177 countries can be visited without a visa)
Singapore (176)
Denmark, Finland, France, Italy, Japan, Norway, Sweden, UK (175)
Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland (174)
Ireland, South Korea, Portugal, United States (173)
Canada (172)

A record number of Passports was issued by Ireland in 2017 with the big increase attributed to the uncertainty surrounding Brexit with many eligible British and Northern Ireland citizens taking up their option to secure an EU travel document.

Dr. Christian H. Kalin is Group Chairman of Henley & Partners:
'Across the economic spectrum, individuals want to transcend the constraints imposed on them by their country of origin and access business, financial, career and lifestyle opportunities on a global scale..... We are also seeing a growing tendency towards a more isolationist, immigration-hostile policy among traditional migrant-receiving countries such as the US, and 2018 will bring further uncertainty, with the UK still in the grip of ongoing Brexit negotiations.'

IRELAND USES MOST DISPOSABLE PLASTIC IN THE EU

Ireland is now the top producer (per capita) of plastic waste in the European Union according to the latest Eurostat figures. This will come as no surprise to even the most part-time of environmentalist when you consider the huge amount of plastic packaging used in Irish foods and produce. The boom in fast-food and coffee outlets has only exacerbated the problem with calls for a 'Latte' tax to be applied to all cups of take-away coffee, such is the appalling wastage resulting from the consumption of even a single beverage. Similarly fast-food and burger joints produce reckless amounts of waste for even tiny meals.

What is likely to be less well known however is that China was the chief importer of our recycled waste plastic (to the tune of 95%), but has now banned all imports of waste plastic from the EU!

The writing was on the wall in 2017 when 160 containers of recycled waste from Ireland were stopped en-route to China in Rotterdam and refused by Chinese officials due to the large degree of contamination of the waste (it is estimated that as much as 28% of waste material being placed in recycled bins in Ireland is unsuitable for recycling).

Denis Naughten is the Irish Minister for the Environment:
'One million plastic bottles are bought around the world every minute and this number is set to increase. The reckless discarding of plastic waste is environmental sabotage, nothing less.'

With landfills in Ireland reaching capacity and there being no option to incinerate plastic waste this is a huge problem that is only going to get bigger and bigger. And fast.

TRIUMPH FOR IRISH ACTRESS SAOIRSE RONAN AT GOLDEN GLOBES

Irish actress Saoirse Ronan took home her first awards gong at the recent Golden Globes. It is unlikely to be her last.

Saoirse Ronan

The Carlow native is widely regarded as the most outstanding Irish actress of her generation and looks to have the world at her feet. The 23-year-old continues to receive rave reviews for her performance in Greta Gerwig's coming-of-age film 'Ladybird' having previously been nominated for an Oscar twice for her fine work in 'Atonement' and 'Brooklyn'.

Born in the Bronx to Irish actor Paul Bronan and Monica Brennan, the family moved to Dublin when their child was a three-year-old before settling in Carlow. The family later moved to Howth in North Dublin. Her earliest roles included the Irish medical drama 'The Clinic'. Her first movie role was in the Rom-Com 'I Could Never Be Your Woman' starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Paul Rudd.

Her big breakthrough however came in the production of 'Atonement' where she starred opposite Keira Knightley and James McAvoy. The move won 1 oscar and was nominated for 6 more.

Peter Travers wrote in 'Rolling Stone' Magazine:
'Saoirse Ronan is the film's glory. Note to Oscar: This is acting of the highest order. Ronan simply takes your breath away.

That was in 2007! Super-stardom beckons.

THE GOOSE
by Pat Watson

Jim was dreaming that somebody was whinging about freezing feet and the hour of the night and somebody was drilling a hole in his head. Suddenly, he heard the screams. Jumping out of bed he ran down the stairs. He met Victoria, his wife.
'There's a dead bird in my new kitchen.' Goose

Then he remembered he had won a live goose at the party last night. His newfound friend John had strangled it and left them both lying in the kitchen. He recovered and staggered up to bed. The goose didn't. John had also drunkenly told him how to pluck it, clean it and prepare it for the oven.

'Don't worry darling I will pluck it and prepare it for cooking.'
'Good' she said frostily.
'I am off to Dublin to collect my parents, the twins are still asleep, I will get breakfast on the road. I couldn't eat here now, I feel nauseous.'
Picking up the keys, she left. As he was finishing the Alka-Seltzer, the twins appeared on the stairs.
'Where is Mama? We want our breakfast, we want fried bread sausages and Seven Up.'
He gave them bread and jam and milk. This kept them quiet for a little while. He would work quickly and get the goose plucked before they finished.

Just three weeks ago, they had moved from Dublin 4 to this beautiful five-bedroom dormer on it's own grounds in Cavan. Victoria had designed the kitchen, with the electric cooker in the middle of the floor under a giant extractor fan. The cooker hob had a large flat surface area. He would do the plucking here.

He placed the goose on the cooker, grabbed a bunch of feathers and pulled. Apart from hurting his hand, nothing happened. He would have to pull the feathers one at a time. By the time the twins had finished their breakfast he had extracted twenty-five feathers in an area of two square inches. He was surprised to find that the bloody bird had underwear, lovely and soft but impossible to remove.

Then he remembered his old great-grandmother who had spent her last few months in their house when he and his brothers were children. Daft Granny they called her. She spoke a weird language and said silly things like, 'If you get up on an ass, you'll get down on a goose.'

Now the penny dropped, even without getting up on the ass he had got the 'down' on the goose. How the hell was he going to get the down off the goose?

'We will help,' said the twins. Wasn't he lucky! Their third birthday was last week. All three were still in their pyjamas.

'Here pull the soft bits, a tiny bit at a time, Jack! Don't throw it at Denis, just put it down.'

The Alka-Seltzer wasn't working. He would have to get a hair of the dog, just a short to steady his hands. That helped and after a while the undressing was going well, more flesh was appearing and he and the twins were growing white beards and hair, 'a bit like Santa,' Denis said.

The teddy bears on their slippers were also growing beards. The floor too, was turning white, the feathers and down was supposed to stay on the cooker top and not move around. Not to worry, he could easily tidy up afterwards.

He hadn't noticed that the twins had gone upstairs to the toilet, to the guest room with grandpa's present, to their own room for the present, back again with grandma's present and to Mammy's room to roll in the lovely soft duvet and of course to see the Christmas tree in the sitting room.

They had also got dressed, in a manner of speaking. He was still in his pyjamas and some goose clothing.

Now to move the naked bird to the sink for cleaning, oops! He had hit the switch on the extractor fan. Whoosh! It sucked up all the feathers, scrape! The fuses blew, with a sort of sneeze, it threw out all the feathers and down again over a wider area, over everything in the kitchen, the hall, the stairs and everywhere. Three year-olds do not close doors.

Leave that for now - get on with the cleaning the bird. How?
'Just put a cut at both ends and pull out the insides' that's what John said. That was easy but Oh! The smell. Was that the goose? No it was burning feathers, in the panic with the fan he had turned on one plate on the cooker. The feathers just crinkled up and turned black, some exploding on to the floor and walls, others caking on to the cooker.

He rushed to switch it off, must be bloody voodoo. He didn't see the cat that had come with the house, coming in. Growling, the cat grabbed the entrails and made good his escape into the hall and upstairs leaving a feathery fence around his bloody trail.

Fidelma arrived with her parents, Alexandria and Ronald, the retired Judge. All four generations of Ronald's family had been members of the judiciary since his great grandfather came over as legal adviser to the Viceroy. Since then, they had never mingled with anybody from outside the Pale until Victoria had become infatuated with this Cork man.

Glancing round the room he observed the devastation, the whiskey bottle and the glass with the feathers stuck to it. Alexandria's worst fears were realised but he always knew the Irish man would revert to class and culture at the first opportunity.
'Cavan was such an opportunity' and he had wasted no time, now he hoped his daughter would see sense and divorce him immediately.

Instead, having viewed the scene and seeing the little-boy-lost look on her Jimmy's face she laughed heartily before melting into his feathery arms.

The Judge and Alexandria threw arms and eyes heavenward before they too broke into laughter as he picked up the whiskey bottle and reached for fresh glasses from the cabinet.

At last they had become Irish.

DOUGLAS HYDE: THE UNLIKELY FIRST PRESIDENT OF IRELAND

Douglas Hyde was born in Frenchpark in County Roscommon in 1860. His father was a local Church of Ireland Rector. He quickly became fascinated with the Irish language and entered Trinity College where he studied other languages including French, German, Greek, Latin and Hebrew. He was determined to prevent the continuing decline of the native language however, and in 1893 he founded the Gaelic League. Douglas Hyde

The Irish language had been in decline since the seventeenth century but this decline accelerated in the years after the famine. The 'Black Death' of 1845 to 1849 resulted in over a million deaths from starvation and a further million people were lost to emigration in the decade following the famine. The effect of the famine on the Irish language was devastating.

The increased awareness in national identity that culminated in the Easter Rising in 1916 and the subsequent War of Independence and eventual declaration of an Irish Republic can be traced to events in the second half of the nineteenth century. The formation of the Gaelic League by Douglas Hyde was crucial in the promotion of the idea of an independent Irish nation. Many of the iconic Irish nationalist leaders that were later to shape the course of Irish history formed their nationalistic philosophies during their membership of the Gaelic League. Pearse, deValera and Collins were all members. Hyde later became discontent with the increasing political bent that the League was displaying and resigned the presidency of the organization he had founded in 1915. He had no political affiliation either with the Home Rule movement or Sinn Fein.

He accepted a position in Seanad Eireann (the appointed Senate) but later lost the post when an election was held. It is believed that the fact that he was a Protestant counted against him, although false allegations that he supported divorce must also have damaged his chances. He returned to academic studies and became Professor of Irish at UCD.

Huge Crowds were drawn to the Inauguration of Douglas Hyde

Despite having retired some years earlier Eamon deValera appointed Douglas Hyde once more to Seanad Eireann. His stay in the Senate was again short-lived but this time it was because greater office beckoned. deValera and the opposition leader W.T. Cosgrove agreed that Hyde should become the first President of Ireland. Both of these leaders wanted to prove that the 'new' Ireland could be inclusive and the appointment of a Protestant would certainly demonstrate this. Recognition for the years of service Hyde had given to the Irish people through his tenure as president of the Gaelic League was also a factor. In 1938 he became the first President of Ireland and settled into Aras an Uachtarain in the Phoenix Park, which has remained the home of all Irish Presidents ever since.

Hyde was a popular President with the US President Roosevelt calling him 'a fine and scholarly old gentleman'. He suffered a massive stroke in 1940 and it appeared his demise was near. He recovered however and, although wheelchair bound, continued his presidential duties for another 5 years.

He left office in 1945 but continued to live in the Phoenix Park until his death in 1949. He was granted a state funeral and was buried in his native Roscommon.

His contribution to the cause of the Irish language, history, music and literature cannot be overstated with W.B. Yeats proclaiming him as the source of the Irish literary renaissance which continues to this day.

IRISH NEWSPAPERS REVISITED

The Freeman's Journal

added note: Workhouses were desperate places in nineteenth century Ireland. They were the last refuge of the destitute and starving. They have been described as 'the most feared and hated institution ever established in Ireland'. There were 163 such places in operation between 1841 and 1920. Entire families had to enter the workhouse system together or not at all, which was a way for landlords to clear their land of tenants. Families were then split up within the workhouse, often to never again lay eyes on each other.

RIOT AT MOUNTKENNET WORKHOUSE

BALLINA CHRONICLE Ballina, Co. Mayo, Wednesday, July 3, 1850

The Limerick Reporter contains the following statement: - It appears that two boys, having committed some misdemeanour, the temporary master, Mr. James Morrison, deprived the delinquents of their morning meal, when the entire number of paupers in the house, with hardly one exception, rose up en masse and declared they would not submit to have any of their number treated in such a cruel manner. A Famine Workhouse Mr. Morrison, finding his utmost efforts to quell the disturbance without avail, sent for the police, and twenty three of the city force under Head-constable Joynt and Constable Shannon, and accompanied by Dr. Gibson, J.P., went promptly on the spot.

On their arrival the yard was filled with a tumultuous mob, yelling most vociferously, shouting and flinging stones at random at the windows, and into the adjoining streets and quay, while a large portion of them were collected around an immense breach in the outer wall, of thirty feet long and twenty feet high, which, upon learning that the police were sent for, they had made as a means of effecting their escape from street. The police having drawn up in the dining hall, Dr. Gibson ordered the yard to be cleared, but the moment the door was opened a volly of stones was directed against the constables, one of which inflicted a deep gash on the cheek of Constable Hunt.

The door was instantly shut to, and for some time longer the rioters continued shouting and huzaaing at the retreat of the police, and challenged them to venture amongst them again. In the meantime the men fixed bayonets in the hall, and seizing an opportunity when the paupers' attention seemed to be divided, Head Constable Joynt rushed out, followed by the entire party, and threw the rioters into complete confusion. Stones, however, continued to be thrown by the persons most remote from the police, wounding and greatly annoying many of the men, who were prevented from seeing their assailants by the obstinacy of the rioters, who firmly withstood every effort to pass through the crowd. The assault continuing, an order was given to charge, and the police did charge with fixed bayonets.

Fortunately, no serious wounds were inflicted, although the ferocity of the rioters was so great that some of them caught the bayonets by the points, and struggled with the constables. The contest continued for over an hour, and the police, in the course of it, evinced the most exemplary forbearance, suffering themselves to be wounded with stones in the head and body, and yet exhibiting no exasperation against their assailants. A guard stationed at the breach prevented any persons from leaving by that means of exit, and thus saved the citizens from being annoyed as on the occasion of the late riots. The police, however, used the butts of their muskets rather freely, in a short time the malcontents were locked up in their wards, having suffered several contusions on shoulders, legs and arms from the carbines.

Sub-constable Mayburne had his nose and cheek split from a blow of a stone, and Head-constable Joynt received a severe blow on the ancle, and some less serious blows on the hands and head. Sub-constable Noble had his thumb split and others of the men experienced similar injuries.

No arrests were made, as it was impossible to distinguish, where all were disorderly, who were most so.
