Denis O’Brien controversy has caused ‘constitutional crisis’“The Dáil is a bit of a talking club, they want their own rules for themselves,” he said. “It is important that people stand up for democracy, inside the Dáil as well as outside the Dáil.”?YEAH RIGHT?
Micheál Martin, stood up in the Dáil and you said it is wrong and out of order for Deputy Mary Lou McDonald to name names in the context in which she did, in particular the individuals concerned need to know how they can get redress or, in essence, get their names cleared on the record and their reputations cleared as well. Now, I’d ask you a question: where is the difference? Is it because some of them were your party colleagues? Cabinet colleagues? So, Denis O’Brien is different is he?”HOW THE HAVE'S AND HAVE-NOTS ARE TREATED IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE STATE?

"When it comes to the care and welfare of children on this island, official institutions were generally very good with fine words and worthy sentiments but often criminally negligent in their realisation in the real lives of real children.
The Proclamation of the Provisional Government of the Irish Republic read out at the GPO in Dublin to mark the beginning of the 1916 Easter Rising famously declares that the ‘The Republic . . . declares its resolve to pursue the happiness and prosperity of the whole nation . . cherishing all of the children of the nation equally.’ "?

*A large old-style psychiatric hospital in Wexford is no longer fit for purpose yet continues to house in-patients. It was previously fined after sewage leaked from its inadequate sewage facility into the local river. The lift system at the hospital broke down and had to be replaced at great expense.
