Recently (Saturday, Oct 26), my wife and I — a pair of 70-plus-year-olds from the country, having visited a few days with friends, got on the Dart at Glasthule with a view to getting to Heuston Station via Connolly and Luas.

Listening to our Minister for Health recently, I was reminded of that little boy we all knew at school ‘Please, sir, it wasn’t me sir, it was Murphy’.

I RECENTLY spotted a quote from C. ÓCaolain, TD, re the Dr Neary matter: “The pain and anguish of the victims has been compounded by the Minister’s failure to address the issue fairly.”
