To be told your just turned 3 year old daughter who needs significant specialist support/intervention will be seen in July 2028 is heartbreaking.
Meanwhile every professional you speak to/literature you read talks about early intervention at a young age.
She’ll be 6 and a half.

Wow! Hits the nail on the head. This editorial traces the deprofessionalisation of NHS general practice. The legacy of austerity, bad politics and a proud profession caving in to box ticking.

Why still no mainstream media coverage of what is unarguably newsworthy testimony before a parliamentary committee?

IMF 35 has arrived! The only Irish/EU specific medicines reference in Ireland that is comprehensive, independent and non-promotional i.e. no advertising.

Latest crisis is the failure to provide transfer of care to adult services when kids turn 18
All those on ADHD medication, which requires specialist follow up are simply being discharged!
Adult services refusing to accept transfer of care

Incredibly powerful contribution by @TomClonan at the Oireachtas Committee this afternoon. Worth watching the full thing. We really should be ashamed of the way children are treated in this country. Especially those who are going through so much already.

Irish newspaper columnists outraged that young people at Electric Picnic sang 'Celtic Symphony' react to British Army murderers being given an amnesty:

The hatred that led to the tragedy of #Auschwitz gradually developed from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice.
It's disturbing that words of #denial & #antisemitism (& user name referring to Adolf Hitler) do not violate the rules on this platform.

Today UKG engaged in one of the biggest violations of the rule of law by blocking all investigations into murders by loyalist & republican paramilitaries & security forces. It used to be called a cover-up; this is the systemic denial of human rights in full view. The final insult
