The attorney general was forced to – privately – remind government of the 'strictly independent' nature of the DPP’s work after senior ministers claimed her office was 'no longer fit for purpose'.
The DPP was 'anxious to put some matters on the record'.

I agree. It was incredibly brave and remarkable of Charlotte Fallon to say what she did in the midst of all the people and cameras.

Picked up this straying cat in Drumcondra: she/he has been hanging around the local newsagent for 48 hours. The local Facebook groups are trying to find the owner. Red collar but no name or number. Anyway, she's been fed, watered & has a warm bed. My Puca cat is outraged at this intruder.

Thread: Ahead of the election, I spent a few days in Stockholm having a look at Sweden's much-vaunted childcare system, and spoke to people re their experiences of it. My big takeaways: it's a fantastic system, we could achieve it here, and I'll believe it when I see it (1/7)

Publishing the watered down, heavily manipulated and yet absolutely shameful homelessness figures in advance of #GE2024 risks exposing our watery-like rhetoric, societally manipulative behaviour and shameful record in tackling homelessness.

The number of patients who have been assessed and need to be admitted to #UHL who are on trolleys today. This is a complete failure of our health service. It is distressing and dangerous. We don't have any other A&E in the Midwest. This isn't acceptable. #HSE @simonharristd.bsky.social

(2) they then asked, in my temp. absence, her 90 year old sister, who had memory loss & hadn't a clue what she was signing, to sign that my dying mother would be charged XXXX for a private room to die in. My mother paid for ages into a private plan so she could die with dignity. Will *never* forget.

They also often refuse to take back their patients who get infections and send them to the nearest public ED.

That's 1 of the reasons the EDs are crowded. Sick people getting sicker and coming to ED urgently needing diagnostics.
