I’M fed up of the Fianna Fáil and PD coalition telling us they are spending more money on healthcare than ever before. They suggest time and again that funding for statutory healthcare has increased by €€5 billion since they came to power.

IN recent days we have seen the heartrending pictures of parents of an innocent child carry their hopes and dreams in a white coffin because we are told there is a shortage of nurses working in intensive care for children.

AS we watched the closing moments of the Special Olympics, many of us witnessed the most insensitive and inappropriate piece of political spinning for many a day.
