The exploitation of big pharma is a huge concern for healthcare. I'm afraid I don't have the energy to tackle it.

I focus on trying to improve the standard of living in Ireland for ordinary folk and the quality of government public services to enable that improvement.

That, alone, is exhausting.๐Ÿ™‹๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Don't know, but the article is about the cost of healthcare. Nothing about the efficacy of the medicine.

HSE budget is โ‚ฌ27 Billion. That sounds high but consider it against our annual fine of โ‚ฌ20 Billion for failing emissions targets.

FF FG Government is financially and economically incompetent.

Ensuring the health of its citizens is any government's highest priority.

And everyone knows a euro spent in health prevention will save multiple euros in providing a cure.

Sacrificing long term health and economic development for short term financial savings is a false economy and bad government.

Images taken near Iranian school hit in deadly strikes show fragments of U.S.-made missile NBC News couldnโ€™t independently verify where the fragments were found or when. Munitions experts said they appeared to be components of an American cruise missile.

If Foreign Minister McEntee did handle Ireland's foreign affairs competently, perhaps President Connolly wouldn't feel the need to comment.

I'm proud our President has commented.

And extremely disappointed that the Irish Government continues it's support of the American wars in the Middle East.

The USA has been arming Ukraine and helping them with Intel about Russia for at least the last 4 years.

If you're upset with Russian support for Ukraine then call also for the end of USA help for Ukraine.

USA Week 1
This war is all about regime change, the imminent threat, and making sure Iran never gets nuclear weapons again!

USA Week 2
This war has nothing to do with regime change, there's no imminent threat, and Iran has never had nuclear weapons.

But, but ... aluminum tubes from Africa๐Ÿ˜‰

Middle East conflict is 'assault on international law' President Catherine Connolly has described the situation in the Middle East as a "deliberate assault on international law".

The President of Ireland has spoken out about the US-Israel attacks on Iran.

Sprawling investigation finds decades of sexual abuse among Catholic priests in Rhode Island PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) โ€” The investigation found that 75 Catholic clergy molested more than 300 victims since 1950, but officials stressed that the number of victimized children and abusive priests is likely much higher.

Pete Hegsethโ€™s Crazed, Angry Tirades on Iran Give Dems a Big Opening Itโ€™s not enough for Democrats to say Trumpโ€™s war rationales havenโ€™t been fully explained. The problem is that they are patently false.

The evidence is strong that Trumpโ€™s central claims about Iran are false, not merely that they havenโ€™t been sufficiently explained to lawmakers. trib.al/8AvyVti

You missed out the USA is helping Ukraine kill Russians, with weapons and Intel for at least four years.

So the USA-Russia proxy wars continue in yet more countries around the world...

Well the USA has been giving weapons and Intel about Russia to Ukraine for at least four years.

So you can hardly now complain about Russia and Iran, eh.

I think you're right.

EU countries divided on Iran war.

Netanyahu wants EU support to legitimise his actions.

Please educate yourself about Ukraine. Its not as innocent as it makes out.

Start by looking up

ukraine death squads

Ukraine has illegally occupied part of Poland since 1939 but complains about Russia occupying part of its country for 4 years.

Total hypocrisy.

Yet another USA-Russia proxy war.

Educate yourself about US foreign policy over the last 60 years.

Look up how many wars the USA has started.

The USA is the world's bully and the world is fed up with it.
