A little bit of personal news. Due to catastrophic surgery 18 months ago I have been dialysis dependent. Transplant this month my wonderful husband is the donor. Fingers crossed 🤞 n prayers all goes well for both of us.
In Beaumont hosp I successfully received a kidney transplant from my husband on Monday. A big thank you to the wonderful surgical n nephrology doctors n nurse for their great care.Thank you tweeters for all you’re support n prayers getting to this point.
Arrived in Mater hospital ED after a serious fall .Absolutely excellent treatment inED radiology porters nurses etc. Going for surgery in the morning please all keep me in you’re prayers.H.S.E pay all our hospital workers appropriately. They are Still waiting on their € 1000
98 year old mother 2nd night in A&E Limerick university hospital waiting for a bed. Wonderful staff under immense stress and very apologetic for the situation. Minster forget you’re yoga 🧘♀️ for HCW employ more medical staff to allow them to deliver a descent service.
Drove through Dublin very rough atmosphere crowds roaming around in packs drinking etc. Did not see any Garda or Garda car. I think minister for justice should drive around Dublin some weekend night and see for herself the absence of gardai.
Great news going to Beaumont for transplant assessment next week. Fingers crossed 🤞 my twin brother hoping he is an eligible donor. Please prayers everyone-thanks.
My medical file completed to wing it’s way to Beaumont hospital transplant dept.Please pray 🙏 I will be successfully accepted to be put on the waiting list. Hard to imagine 7 months since catastrophic surgery and 7 months on dialysis.
Visited by 99 year old mother yesterday who is mobile cognitive and physically well except for age related fragility. She wants to move to Heaven however will wait till she is 100 to receive cheque from Michael D. President keeping a lot of citizens in their late 90s alive.
@JohnOBrennan2
His did not act beyond his remit . His comments were not party political but humanitarian . UVDL acted way beyond her remit . Her suitability as President very questionable.
Promising news on waiting list for kidney transplant in Beaumont. One year on dialysis after catastrophic surgery. Life turned upside down. Fingers crossed 🤞 I’ll receive a transplant in the near future.
All tweeter friends personal request please keep me in you’re prayers tomorrow will be in MMUH for more surgery. I’m relaxed about it as I know I’m in a centre of excellence with first class surgical n medical staff.

Scandalous a elderly lady with mobility issues clamped on a technicality of out of date permit. Cars illegally parked on paths a very dangerous practice totally ignored.
@SeanDefoe
Sorry more than wrong it’s criminal intimidation. They must be immediately arrested. There is no such thing as a peaceful demonstration in a pandemic where such gatherings are a threat to life.Frontline workers putting their lives on the line for these hooligans.

No surprise there F/G has become a party of NGOs influencers. Totally divorced from middle Ireland. Writing on the wall for many TDs no safe F/G seats.

Spot on no one in the world is safe till everyone is safe. Global vaccination required.Historians will be puzzled as to why the rich countries stood idly by while India and South American countries are decimated by a virus.Availability of vaccines the biggest mitigating response.

Denmark 🇩🇰 have taken the wise decision to opt out. Ireland should take the same course of action. No to steamrolling legislation.
@Luighseach
Incomprehensible brutality and violence. These young perpetrators have parents or guardians who need to be brought before the courts and jointly held responsible.
Eamonn Ryan’s agenda to increase cost of living via regressive taxation on essential goods& services will bring down the government. Remember Jim Kimmy RIP Limerick labour TD brought down the government when vat was put on children’s shoes .
Observation cyclists have become very aggressive on the roads.Cycling in a bunch across roads. Their sense of entitlement dangerous. They to learn to share the road with motorists.
The person from the immigrant council seems to think 🤔 the Irish taxpayer is a limitless cash cow. It’s official Irish citizens no longer have a say in Irish society. 30000+ NGOs have usurped our democracy.
@billy_ire
@SaturdayRTE
Agree 100%. Listening to the utterance of the present government one would assume Sinn Fein in power. On a slippery slope to a totalitarian state. Government using emergency powers to circumvent democracy.
So sad 😞 Prof John Harbison first state pathologist has died. He was an iconic figure in Irish society. As a great neighbour for years was a delightful character. Sympathies to his wife Kathleen and children Isobel and Austin .RIP John
@Michael_O_Regan
What? He broke restrictions on all fronts-travelling all over the country attended golfgate arrogant to Garda checkpoint etc. In any other country he would have got jail time.
@OHanlonEilis
It’s of paramount importance that all surgical and medical organisations come out and publicly support prof. O’ Shea. This is a very serious attack on our health service. This unscientific dangerous procedures must be stoped.
Taoiseach this is fraud on the Irish taxpayer not the FG government such mindset demonstrates FG not fit for Government-dangerous precedent to Govt greed+ entitlement attitude-GE now.
# Taoiseach-does anyone else still see Leo as Taoiseach with all the amount of media exposure he is getting? Martin in the background. In theory Martin stepped in Leo stepped out in reality the status quo pre election exists.

Remember
IT WILL NOW no longer be possible for the public to know how much former Taoisigh and ex-government ministers pensions are following a ruling by Information Commissioner.
Road traffic fatalities seem to be on an exponential rise. Has Eamon Ryan’s interference in road layout and failure to maintain roads throughout the country anything to do with it?
@lexia
Yes everyone is asked that it may have significance in you’re medical history. Born in a country with a high incidence of certain infections and diseases. Born in Ireland also relevant to medical history as Ireland has a higher incidence in certain illnesses. It is not racist .

Cathy surely there are reserved parking spots for consultants on call? I think it is scandalous the lack of reasonably priced parking for hospital staff and patient’s visitors in our Dublin hospitals.

Interesting comment from Janet Yellen . In a nutshell she seems to be saying economics exist for society not society exist for economics. It will be interesting to see as Treasury Secretary in the Biden administration she turns words into action.

Historians will look back at the Israeli murderous campaign against the Palestinian people as the slaughter of the innocents. The Dark Ages revisited. Will be puzzled why the world stood idly by. UN EU NATO CCR of justice etc not a word of condemnation.

We were bullied into Lisbon 2. No way will you bulldoze the Irish people into NATO or an EU army without a referendum. Treaty of Rome objective to keep peace in Europe not create a military Europe to stage a war.

@Michael_O_Regan
Micheal-people got fined for minor infringements like walking on a deserted beach beyond 5km. Majority forego nursing visits hospital visits etc during this stringent lockdown. The precedent set by golfgate highlights the point regulations are only for the little people.
@griptmedia
Green Party agenda govern by make up quangos and NGOs. No money to adequately run the health service. The government must stop this undemocratic and abuse of taxpayers money immediately.
#golfgate
:Fair well golfgate- people have had their outrage now time for wagons to circle in the traditional Irish style . Kick the can down the road till it is rusted .window dress with reports enjuiries etc. End of the day status quo protected.

Hmm 🤔 The Roma and travelling communities eg Rathkeel Co Limerick have blatantly ignored restrictions.I guess the moral of the story ignore restrictions and you will be reward by been a priority group for vaccination. This comment does not apply to our vulnerable homeless.
@Michael_O_Regan
Agree very surprised with his comments. His remit is guardian of the Constitution. Getting involved in an irrelevant matter of who owns tweet is demeaning the role of president. He should turn his attention in a non political way to our housing crisis.

Chief State Pathologist post in Ireland has always been treated as an add on to pathology. First state pathologist Prof Jonh Harbinson travelled for 40 years 7days a week up and down the country.He had no contract of employment hence retired w/out a pension .-Absurd.
Greetings from MMUH managed some cornflakes with a little coffee -a small step in the right direction. Fingers crossed 🤞 will improve through out the day. Have a nice Sunday out there.
@BarryCrushell
Setting a very dangerous precedent. Gardai no longer in a position to carry out their duties to protect society and apprehend criminals. It would appear criminals endangering people’s and gardai lives are immune from blame.
Will government try to regain some credibility by withdrawing her offer of appointment ? Only route available to them. Ignoring public opinion will bring negative consequences.
@fniainle
. My rescue from renal failure is been lead by 2 excellent female doctors. Prof Yvonne O Meara nephrology and prof. F. Ni Ainle haematology.These 2 departments nephrology and haematology of are greatly under appreciated for the excellence life saving work they do.
@Luighseach
Obviously a witch hunt for an alternative motive. This reckless Labour relations issue by management needs to be immediately brought before the WRC.
@keira_con
Yes we live in a society not governed by elected representatives but by unelected taxpayer funded 30,000 + NGOs. Opaque structures without financial accountability.Absurd
@karlstanley
Spot on the government stripping public assets to sell off to private providers both domestically and globally. Ireland Inc has handed over our economic and social infrastructure to profiteers .Result a minority get rich at the expense of the majority.
Heard shocking story a young mother with a new baby+ 10 year old working all her life now living in a caravan. Clare county council refuse to give her a home as she is not a welfare recipient . Major health issues both herself husband & children.Anyone in Clare Co council help.
@Luighseach
@simoncoveney
We badly need and encourage all health professionals drs nurses to come here. We must encourage these professionals to bring their families with them to ensure longevity in the health service.
Bono a tax exile w/out a mandate presenting himself as a state representative with pseudo political statements-loop hole re: tax exiles in tax code violates cannons of taxation re: fairness-taxes only for little people -Absurd.
