The Indian Irish Medical Association is demanding Ireland dilute its medical registration standards for Indian interns at the very moment India faces massive fake degree scandals.
Patient safety cannot be compromised.
We cannot lower standards when fraudulent credentials pose real risks to Irish hospitals. We are repeatedly told that the influx of foreign doctors is “holding the health service together.” but all I see is 82% of doctors sanctioned in Ireland being foreign born and foreign trained.
This purposeful oversight is a dangerous falsehood that excuses the failure to properly train and retain our own Irish graduates.
The throwaway claim that “diversity adds value” is empty rhetoric that masks a policy of replacement instead of investment in Ireland’s people.
Life expectancy measures wealth and demographics, not health infrastructure which is in here. Ireland has the highest bed occupancy in the OECD, 43% fewer beds than the EU average, 900,000 on waiting lists, and 75% of GP lists closed to new patients. Education attainment is high yes, but 35,000 of those graduates emigrated last year because they can't afford to live here. The graph measures what the state builds and delivers, not outcomes that succeed despite it.
The protests in Ireland are not about just fuel! They are about the distance between Ireland on this graph and every other modern and developed economy. Ireland is second wealthiest but gets waaaaay less than any other country for that wealth. By a golden mile.
That visual gap in this graph? That’s what people are protesting. It’s a lack of infrastructure and the everyday enshittification of services, the economy, and the additional difficulty of trying to live, relative to peers in any other country. It also highlights why people don’t get uniformly listened to! - because there is no government architecture to engage meaningfully across this huge gap.
That gap is a three hour drive to work in traffic, a 14 month wait for an MRI, buses that don’t arrive, trains that don’t exist, schools that have no places for your kids, houses that are unaffordable, pubs that close before midnight, €12 sandwiches, expensive fuel.
People feel this gap, even if they can’t explain it precisely. And that builds into resentment, and ultimately protest. Fuel just happened to be the next thing that could be pointed to, today.
🤡Carragher last season: “Salah is already top 5 and if Salah wins the PL and a 3rd PFA POTY then he is challenging Gerrard and Dalglish for the top 3”
👑 Salah: Done
🤡Carragher: On second thought Salah is 6th.
Following Monday’s visit by the Reform party and its leader, Nigel Farage, the club would like to issue the following statement:
Ipswich Town Football Club has, over several years, hosted representatives from a range of political parties. The club remains apolitical and does not support or endorse any individual or party.
The club will continue to engage with representatives from across the political spectrum as part of its role within the community.
Ipswich Town is proud to be an inclusive, diverse, and welcoming organisation that supports all members of the local and wider community. This commitment remains unchanged.
French state-backed arms manufacturer KNDS – set to provide Ireland with up to €800 million in armoured vehicles – is a member of an Irish lobbying group that previously refused to publicly disclose its membership.

I'm surprised this wasn't picked up more from the presser. Slot saying that discussions between Salah/his reps and the club/Slot started after the Sunderland game. 3 days before the Leeds interview.
A sitting Dublin city councillor publicly displaying his happiness for the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
If this was me, I'd be reprimanded for "behaviour unbecoming of an elected official." Will Conor Reddy be subjected to this by the administration of DCC? No.
Another glimpse into the rotten culture at the heart of PBPs politics.
