The health system is FF/G and their friends on the left’s best justification for radical demographic change.
And it is a Ponzi scheme.
The more people you let in - 1.2 million in just over two decades - the more doctors and nurses you desperately need.
Acting in desperation, and unwilling to offer the security and conditions needed to attract the best and retain the Irish, you lower your standards and recruit from countries where standards are inconsistent and credential fraud is routine.
So everyone using the Irish health system becomes less safe.
When they say, “Shur, the health system would collapse without immigrants,” they mean that without recruiting anyone claiming to be a doctor or nurse from non-EU nations - no matter whether their credentials are really checkable, and regardless of the standard of training they may have had - they cannot get through the mass of cases created by adding 1.2 million people to an already strained health system.
They also mean that a certain amount of malpractice, pain, suffering, unnecessary death through incompetence, and the odd sexual-abuse case is acceptable. They have spun playing Russian roulette with non-EU healthcare workers, in order to service mass immigration, into a positive. “The health services would collapse without immigration” is simply the new “in the national interest” of Celtic Tiger-era excess: the mindless call-and-response between FF/G and the public that has been going on for decades.
And not only is the dangerous decline in standards of healthcare in Ireland acceptable; it is the establishment’s best case for open borders.
But anyone who has read Vandalising Ireland, or has been following
@CNolanOffaly, will know that since the beginning of the mass-immigration experiment, successive justice ministers - chief among them Helen McEntee - ignored and bypassed background checks on people entering the country, particularly non-EU arrivals. Ireland is a soft touch, and the world knows it. Nobody should now be surprised to hear that minimal (if even that) vetting of medical staff from high-fraud-risk nations has occurred under FF/G, and that that negligence is being abused.
FF/G are the fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants uniparty. The “shur, it’ll be grand” uniparty. They do not give a damn about any Irish person. More than that, it has been decades since they even pretended to. They have operated with reckless abandon for decades, and every time they have been caught with their pants down they have faced no consequences. So now they treat the public with contempt, knowing they are untouchable.
There is no low to which FF/G will not stoop. Too many people still have not internalised that fact. Maybe as more grannies die from incompetence in routine surgeries, or because their non-English-speaking doctor or nurse administered the wrong medication, people will wake up. The uniparty will bank on the public accepting a certain amount of death and carnage, just as they accepted the murder of Ashling Murphy, Jamey Carney, and countless other victims of their open-border migration policies.
They are banking on the Irish being too demoralised, distracted, or self-interested to do something - as usual.
This is an absolute disgrace 😠😠!!
I've heard several accounts from people who felt like their nurse/doctor wasn't fully qualified and/or couldn't speak English properly.
This government seems to be doing its utmost to push our medical graduates overseas and bring in people, not from Europe or other Western countries who we can ensure are vetted, properly qualified and can speak the language, but from further afield and now this is what we end up with.
The Irish people deserve better, remember this the next time you vote!!
