Madam, – With recent revelations evidenced from the excellent RTÉ documentary The Limits of Liberty, it has clearly been shown that our political masters, both now and since the beginning of modern times, have failed us abysmally as a people.
No lessons have been learned. Our children have been abused, neglected and remain without any clearly defined constitutional rights. Monoliths, such as the HSE, have been allowed to become monsters – capable of devouring vast scare resources but incapable of providing any satisfactory degree of patient care or patient safety. Our taxation resources were scandalously thrown on the bonfire of our vanities during the Celtic Tiger years, and we have mortgaged the futures of our children/young adults for incalculable years to come.
Thank goodness we still have our “wolfhound” spirit. We shall triumph over all the obstacles that our political masters have put in front of us and be all the better for overcoming same. – Yours, etc,
