      Just to many shit quangos in this country. Everything from the Teaching council to the RSA. Bodies that are meant to serve the profession and help the consumer /user and they just useless. Faceless individuals in expensive offices in Dublin with zero accountability. Lack of teachers, lack of dentists, solicitors not doing their jobs in a timely fashion, RSA refusing to share data. I’m just so over it. The government has given to much power to these organisations but the answer to no one.

      Shortages of everything and everyone essential, but nobody working on the problem. Typical

      Sidenote; It’s incredibly competitive to study medicine in India; 2.5 million people take exams for 110k placements.

      It requires a lot of people to manage exams in order to maintain standards.

      Its like saying why can’t the leaving cert be run every month and we could move people out of school faster!

      If anything happened with GPs who were fast-tracked, people would sue and say ‘Why were they fast tracking these people! Its our lives they’re risking!’

      This is a ridiculous article!

      This is what we do. Understaff vital services, and get surprised when they don’t work very well.

      Waiting list on NCT, months. Waiting list on driving test, months. Health service, good luck. Basic water infrastructure maintenance, nope. Etc.

      And then congratulate ourselves on our 8bn surplus.

      Same with teachers, nurses, police and prettymuch any essential public services.

      I was in a Dublin maternity hospital with my wife at the weekend and  she basically laboured in the waiting room and was in a ward on her own until she was ringing for a nurse to say the baby was coming. Literally were in the delivery room less than two minutes and he was born. 

      The reason, not enough staff.
      The nurses admitted that they had been overwhelmed for the previous few hours.

      A bit of incompetence/inexperience also involved but that wasn’t the main issue.
