Over 100 senior doctors from Letterkenny University Hospital (LUH) and local GPs have issued an urgent call for a meeting with Minister for Health to address what they describe as a critical threat to patient care and health equality in the North West. donegalnews.com/171-donegal-do…

irishtimes.com/health/2025/06… Risks like cancer and infertility can’t be overlooked. Children have been failed—and they and their families deserve to know the truth. 🚨Will they even be informed? ‼️ Publish the report, Bernard Gloster #LucyNugent Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD Children's Health Ireland.

I am one of many who have a loved one living in an Irish care home. For me, it’s my dad. Vital investigative journalism by RTÉ Investigates RTÉ News - thank you. But I know I am one of many bracing myself for what will be tough viewing tonight. Thinking of everyone affected.

HSE disability non service providers for children landed on their ass in the Supreme Court again today. Going forward, services for children have to be much more clearly specified in a written statement with clear measurable targets and regular reviews. The ‘do nothings’ will

So here’s a guarantee. A memo will go round tomorrow to gather together the HSE disability bigwigs to put in train a series of sessions to plan how to restrict children’s rights further and do their absolute best to circumvent the findings made. All enabled by the nodding nuns

Children's lives were put at risk and from what I can see CHI tried to bury it. This is no longer just incompetence. This is Criminal.

Shocking & distressing to see RTÉ investigates on Emesis nursing homes 20 years after Leas Cross it seems little has changed. #safestaffinglevels should be legislated now! Institutional abuse is a safeguarding issue. Where is the legislation? #personcentredcare

Prof. Ronan Collins RTÉ Prime Time While your contribution was thoughtful and well-meant, we don’t need another commission. The HSE must take responsibility — not keep outsourcing care for vulnerable groups: children with scoliosis, older people, those with disabilities. We need public, rights-based care — not

As a nursing home whistleblower, I welcome #PrimeTimeInvestigates expose. Staff have been raising the alarm for years. Still—no adult safeguarding law in Ire. No safe reporting for staff. The culture punishes truth-tellers. That must change. #AdultSafeguardingLawsNow

Here we go again, why does it always take under cover investigations to highlight issues. As always it Profits before People, poor wages, low staff, failure in inspections & oversight.. The politicians that have overseen the failures horrified’ at the revelations while asleep

How many more #Primetime and RTE investigates before Government actually open their eyes to the fact the privatising of public care system has always been about profits and not about the care needs of those who need it most. Last night only cemented what we PWD and our aged

1. HIQA has known about abuse concerns for months. Yet we have the Minister for Older Persons ringing the CEO of the HSE to request safeguarding reviews after he meets with HIQA yesterday!! Our understanding & response to safeguarding is abysmal.

The RTÉ Prime Time investigates last night was absolutely shocking. But not surprising! The lack of safeguarding legislation allows for abuse in elderly and disabilty settings. My beautiful daughter suffered sexual abuse as a direct consequence. Care Champions Ireland Dr Tom Clonan

We demand safeguarding legislation now & reform all care provisions! Join us at Leinster House this Thursday, June 12th. We refuse to let documentaries be the only catalyst for change. The same care failures have plagued us from before the pandemic until now, creating new victims

Children are now refusing to enter Children's Health Ireland sights because they fear they may be harmed. Probably one of the darkest days in Irish healthcare. Jennifer Carroll MacNeill TD what's the plan here? Zero leadership in something that has gone well beyond the point of crisis.

Discovered today that just 32% of children in care in the Carlow, Kilkenny and South Tipperary areas have an allocated social worker. It’s an astonishing statistic. Children’s rights in Ireland are taking a serious battering at present. In education, health provision, child
