Letters to the Editor: Government gets message loud and clear

'We the people have spoken, now let’s upset the apple cart with the upcoming local and European elections, and boycott the three main parties and give someone else a chance.' Picture: Larry Cummins

In relation to the huge no votes in the referendum, do the Government parties and opposition parties, all whom advocated yes votes, recognise at all how out of touch they are from the electorate?

My wife and I conceived in late 2019, then covid and lockdowns happened. All of the scheduled ante-natal classes were cancelled, a source of distress for my wife who was expecting her first child and needed support and advice. I was excluded from going to appointments and had to wait outside in the car while my wife was alone in the hospital. There were complications during the pregnancy. I wasn’t allowed to visit my wife when she was hospitalised, even when it looked like there was a miscarriage.
