Dude .. those people could work 24/7 and still the condition in European hospitals wouldn’t improve .. go after the people who work it now.. and you will ALL die .. that is what happens when the government runs healthcare ..

I know the HSE is a disaster zone and that heads need to roll in leinster house. I can only speak of my own experience in another hospital. The thing I noticed most was the amount of immigrants presenting in the ED. The second thing I noticed was that almost all the hospital staff were non Irish. Ireland's population growth is out of control due to mass immigration. The foreign hospital staff are used to these thirld world conditions. Import the thirld world, become the thirld world. Our FG and FF politicians prefer to spend billions on unvetted migrants than spend it on Irish medical staff in our hospitals.
