The fact that Irish citizens are being forced to travel to another country for basic medical procedures in the first place is a tacit admission of gaps in our own healthcare system.

There are few organisations anywhere, never mind in Ireland, that have the dual perception issue of the Health Service Executive.

For its staff at the coalface, those nurses and doctors on the frontline in hospitals, no praise seems to be high enough.
