In fairness this is just a lazy comment piece, the guy doesn’t go into any reasoning beyond saying we have opened our arms to free trade but have a housing crisis and poor health service. He doesn’t say why or what some solutions might be, in fact he really says nothing about the public service, it’s only in the headline.
Money in vs money out.
Generic article by foreign press.
Why does the guardian seem to hate Ireland for some reason?
The pro-FFG boys are out in full force this evening…
“Everything is working perfectly well in Ireland. Look away everyone. Nothing to see here”
Hahah these comments the headline is dead right
My mam went into A&E yesterday in Dublin with chest pain at 8pm (history of heart condition and pace maker etc)
She was triaged just after 12am (4 hours later) and seen by a doctor 1 hour and 15 ago at 7.15pm and was left sitting in the waiting room all night and today until 7.15pm
I hate that the older I get the more I hate this fucked up little cuntry if ours.
If a doctor is being called they announce it over the intercom, when they call patients they whisper it out the door. It can be very hard for the international people there to hear or even recognise their names.
The security guard was stopping people including my mam (late 60s) from falling asleep sitting up in the waiting room even through the early hours of the morning.
What’s the alternative? I’m confused are we complaining about two things which largely aren’t related?
What the alternative? Destroy our economy and then just go back to all working in London and sending money home?
Idiots
As an avid Guardian reader and a tech professional I can confirm without a shadow of a doubt that John Naughton’s knowledge of his own field of coverage (tech) is embarrassingly poor.
We have issues but anyone who thinks this is the man to point them out is very much mistaken.
Our failing public services are starting to become a real problem in terms of trying to attract foreign investment. The cat is out of the bag now.
Also this article cites the ‘tech titans’ many of them headquartered in liberal US States where cannabis has replaced alcohol as the relaxation drug of choice, I wonder are our archaic laws on cannabis going to put off some companies, nobody will want their execs getting in trouble for relaxing with a spliff of a weekend.
