national / public consultation / irish social forum Tuesday June 20, 2006 - 00:34 by Liam Mullen
In delivering a resounding eulogy to his former mentor and “boss”, the late Taoiseach Charles J. Haughey, the current Taoiseach Bertie Ahern showed true compassion and tenacity in speaking warmly about CJ Haughey, but the question must be asked: Has Bertie Ahern and his top henchmen lost the plot? ... read full story / add a comment

I am asking the question because of the outright inadequacy of mental health services and integrationist services to cater for the needs of people with health problems particularly mental health problems..... I recall an Irish Penal Reform Trust meeting.....a Forensic Psychiatrist and his wise words about mental health definititions. The categories of say bipolar equate the same in the outside world and within the hospital implying that a lot of what is termed Psychiatric are in fact social problems. I have written an 18 page essay dealing with this topic over two centuries. Anxiety can take you by the throat if you suffer from what is named episodic........Listen to your patients and fight for the funding to provide an adequate medical service and perhaps have less people walking the streets and begging............I have heard that if you have mental health problems in the US, you are 4 times more likely to be shot by the police.... Where is the Barr Tribunal Report......What is holding it up? Why was John Carty show. Where were the social services and the doctors....... The Morris Tribunal has reported. Let's clearn up the act and hear what Mr. Justice Barr has to say..... Michelle ... read full story / add a comment

The deaths of Terence Wheelock and John Moloney in Garda custody have again focused attention on the brutal nature of policing in this state. Brian Rossiter and John Carty are other names from a long list that have a public resonance. ... read full story / add a comment

America, they refer to the Underclass. Medical Services in Ireland are harnassed by the divide - you pay or you don't.......therein is the obscurity as to how to have hope and get the best treatment..... I note Patient's Together are mobilising to challenge Professor Drumm and the HSE scandal of overcrowding in Accident and Emergency. I am hearing too much about suicide. I am encountering a degree of medical arrogance that I can no longer accept. I wonder have people experienced similar problems. We are not hearing about all the suicides.....i.e. those involving the Luas for example or the out of the ordinary number in Finglas at the moment. What is the system saying......Are they confining us to no Hope and the undersclass category. ... read full story / add a comment

national / politics / elections Saturday June 17, 2006 - 13:48 by Daithí
Encouraging students to get involved in politics, representation, activism and campaigning is a funny business. In an ideal, perfect situation, you wouldn't have a division between encourager and encouragee; no-one should need to drum up interest among others or to have a position of 'managing' student involvement. But we don't live in that world, and it's perfectly usual to see students' unions, political 'youth wings', campaign groups and so on trying to encourage 'others' to get involved. ... read full story / add a comment
