There's no mystery here:
Population 🇮🇪 vs Hospital Beds
1996: 👥 3,626,087 🛏️ 11,937
2022:👥 5,123,536 🛏️ 11,337
People: 👥 +1,497,449
Beds: 🛏️ –600
600 fewer beds for an extra 1.5m people.
So for every 1,000 of us, the no. of beds has DECREASED by 33% from 3.3 to 2.2

For everyone that wants to start chopping down trees on the back of #StormEowyn.
Timber polls that have stood for 40, 50, 60 years can come down all by themselves.
Can't they, @ESBNetworks ...
This morning between Shrule and Headford… a brutal night with plenty of damage locally but thankfully calm now. #StormEowyn

The family of hit-and-run victim Joe Drennan are campaigning for a change in sentencing laws after his killer Kieran Fogarty received a concurrent sentence, which the family have described as a "complete injustice".

Dr Mick Molloy, a consultant in Emergency Medicine, says the number of patients on trolleys is definitely as bad as it looks, and it's probably as bad as he has ever seen it in the health service

The M6 Buoy located out West of Ireland dropped 51hPa in just 12 hours today! From 995hPa at 11am to 944hPa at 11pm. That is just crazy. #StormÉowyn

That high resolution AROME model out to 9am shows gusts I’ve never seen this model show before for Ireland and this model is one of the best there is for Ireland. Anyone saying this is just another storm is in for a rude awakening. This will be an historic storm. #StormÉowyn

The 125 patients on trolleys in University Hospital Limerick might not share Niall Collins opinion on extra resources in their hospital!!

If you have two minutes of your time - have a listen to the quality of these young women when they speak & why we’re all mad about them in TCS.
We believe in our students so that they can believe in themselves - the cornerstone of Irish education.

* The Big Snow of 2025 on the Galtees * Brothers Tom John William & their nephew Billy Cunningham along with their Hill Sheep Farming Neighbours are out on the Galtees with the last few days digging out their sheep who have been trapped in what has been the worst snow fall in decades. They have managed to save a lot of their sheep with the help of their sheep dogs Sue Sally Hemp & Ted who were able to sniff out the sheep & show them where their sheep were buried but they will have a lot of losses too. They won't know the final count until possibly next week. These hazerous conditions are going to have a huge impact on the whole of The Hill Sheep Farming Community.
Well done to all involved and the amazing dogs.

Didn't want to post about this till I got permission. That young couple who were cruelly killed by a hit and run driver were my nextdoor neighbours for over a decade. I still can't get my head around those beautiful and caring people and their 2 great kids now orphaned. I spoke to their inconsolable family at the vigil. Their hearts and minds are destroyed. Their friends and our neighbours devastated.
We will miss you both, thanks for being so kind to my Mam and me. Yous were 1 in a million. We can't do anything to help poor Georgina or Anto now, but we can try and raise a few bob for their children. Please donate if you can.
