Letters to the Editor: Broken mental health system a major human rights breach for children

One reader wants a serious revamp in mental health services, while others say Budget 2024 should make progress on sustainable development goals and that the international community has failed the people of Libya

Use of taxpayers' money for children’s mental healthcare should be welcomed by the public, a reader hopes.

The mental health system in Ireland is broken. It needs a radical inventory from the top down. It’s been like that for a long, long time. There have been calls for increased funding down through the years from non-profit groups and campaigners alike, but this really is the last straw and we will see protests outside Leinster House this year.

Children being refused just shows how serious this is.
