St Lukes is an actual existing and recogonised functioning "Centre of Excellence", as oppossed to an envisaged one.
This is a suggestion which does not take up much time but I know personally from the time when they were going to scrap the OAP medical card it is Very effective.
The central number of Dail Eireann is 01 6183333, from there you ask to be put on to your local TD.
Phone in and ask him or her what are they doing to stop this act of health sabotage ?
Also, ask your friends and relations to do the same and ask them to ask their friends and relations to the same etc.
Maybe also convene a Public Meeting in Rathmines or in Dublin centre and invite all TDs to attend to explain their position.

R T E has a legal remit to broadcast public interest issues.
This week RTE has broadcast inordinate and in depth coverage of the Fine Gael row and tussle. Mind numbing and detailed "analysis" is devoted to this squabble for power.
At the same time we have being pushed through the Dail this bill, to empower Harney to dissolve St Lukes, sell the site to builder buddies( if deemed necessary !!! ) AND to " remove the Health Service Executive's duty to provide an Infectious Diseases Maintenance Allowance."
The latter item is on the Statute Book since 1947, circa the time when we had the introduction of the welfare state in a more substantial form for the first time in this country.
There is no coverage of these issues, yet they are historical and of critical importance to people's live and their well being.
The licensed State broadcaster who never ceases from reminding us to pay up the licence or else.... should be harassed and harried on this issue.
Their silence on this is tantamount to complicity in an atrocity.
The man is both a Minister and sited in the constituency, indeed , he was elected on
this and other issues of concern to Fight FF !!!
The other major issue was of course the Poolbeg Incinerator and now it appears he's
hiding parcels of dogshyte in relation to the DDDA!!!
Gormley will doubtless be voted out of DSE cos he is lukewarm and provides a clearing
house for FF/PD privatisation BUT he needs to be put on the record as opposing Ms
Harney's craven failures in healthcare, so he won't be able to cover it when he approaches
the doorsteps.
Gormley needs to be asked why he continues to enforce through his support for Government
and budget these policies which are completely opposed to what he set out on the doorsteps.
PUT HIM ON THE SPOT.
back in dec 2007 i attended a march from Luke's into the city centre.
Gormley was minister then. he sent one of his special advisors Ryan meade to represent him. Mr Meade addressed the crowd and said that Minister Gormley supported the campaign to keep Luke's open and it was a centre of excellence already.
Gormley could stop this if he chose to by instructing the green TDs to vote against it.
personally i think his spin will be that the site will be used for some some other health use and isn't that grand!
I was at the same protest.
Do you think that Gormley's advisors earn grands per year to spin cos they couldn't retain a co-opted
seat or that they turn up cos he doesn't really care about his local vote? Sure lots of people in DSE
are directly effected by Green ineffectuality in Poolbeg/Ringsend/Merrion, In the old Glass Bottle plant and in St Lukes!!!
Imagine that- This party supports and applauds FF/PD policy without recourse to their electorates and
none moreso than the man who holds and warms Dick Roche's chair.
They still have to go to the doorsteps.
I suggest a bit of focus on his DSE constituency is in order. it just takes one bowling ball
to knock his pins down , thats the DDDA (btw)
I see letters in the Indo and Times this week about Harney's sneaky Bill. we should write in opposing the Bill to keep the matter alive..
very little media coverage of this - shows their priorities!
Well we got G K editing the (anglo)Irish shapeshifting Times, former PD TD.We have the T. O'R(eill)Y Independent group. Denis O'Brien's corporate radio and the well bought RTE mic-jocks who are not likely to be spotted in the public A&E queue.Any scraps of local papers or stations are so dependent on advertising or govt subsidy they cannot do their watchdog job of barking anything other than in consensual chorus.We seem to be down to grafitti and Indy for the moment, and the stoking agin the grafitti brigade is constant, lest some Banksy challenge our wuncha bankers.Long live our current host.
