'Your treatment of children with scoliosis is disgraceful' - Mary Lou McDonald | Newstalk

[@liamphelan4210]

Minister for health - he vilified the nurses fighting for better conditions and now he vilifies Irish people for standing up to his EU immigration policy agreement

And there flying in 30 children from gaza for health care (no disrespect) but our own IRISH PEOPLE come first.

Still no children's hospital.. and whose fault is that again? Who was the health minister that thought he knew better and decided to relocate the new national children's hospital from the middle of the country set out in the proposal where every family, even families in the north of Ireland would have equal access to the hospital? Who was it who would only green light the project if it was in the heart of Dublin? Who was it who oversaw the cost of the hospital skyrocket? Who is about as equipped as a coat rack to run this country? Who was it that was jumping up and down feigning righteous outrage while claiming the costs weren't skyrocketing into the billions, until the truth could not be hidden anymore? Who is a detriment to this country? That is right, the answer is Simon Harris.

The floater won't do anything at all if it's taken 8 years of tucked up promises. Utterly disgusting man

[@hellothere111]

Exactly. From those in the know, Mary Lou is highly respectful to the other parties when meeting privately, but puts on these public performances to get views and support from the "it's a disgrace" mob. She's a total clown, and just comes off looking like a karen.

I thought we were a rich country? I thought we were doing great? It’s all a lie if our children suffer.

[@kieraissoa]

Getting the clinical care in time appears to be exactly the issue simon for alot of famillies whose babies are running out of time. Absolutely heartless. Unacceptable failure of the state who seem more interested in blaming anyone else from sf to clinicians with waiting lists up to the eyeballs. ITS BEEN YEARS. Seen harveys video on tiktok and absolutely broke down. Hope this story gets more traction and harvey gets his op.x

[@jaq2629]

I'm not making light of this serious situation. But, I think the best chance any of our children have is to change the child's name by deed poll to Mohammed, Yousef, or Abdullah. 🤬🤬💔

Couldn't they put more money and resources towards it? How much money and resources are wasted by the government while we could be investing in research, training, bringing in specialists, improving infrastructure, taking steps to prevent it from happening to others etc etc.. These are all things that could be done and are things that are the job of politicians.

Is the issue that they know the operation they need but are not getting it, or that the doctors don't recommend an operation? Because if it's the first, then there is a lever he can pull, if it's the second, then in fairness there isn't.
