Not impressed with Leo at all.

Eight years ago this month I had a serious stroke sand survived Navan Hospital,which then had neither the machinery to identify whether the cause was either a  bleed on the brain or a clot.Nor did it stock the medicine to dissolve a clot nor had it any one trained to administer the clot busting medication were it available.
As  result of my entering the General Election campaign immediately following my discharge  the omissions outlined above were put in place so those subsequently admitted for a stroke had at least a fighting chance .
My left side was badly affected by the stroke ,my arm and hand in particular.
I was crying out for the attentions of a physiotherapist.
This month, eight years later ,the HSE SUPPLIED MY FIRST HOUR'S PHYSIO TREATMENT.
That's right 8 years later.
Now I understand that Leo the current Taoiseach spent some time working in Navan Hospital before I was admitted.
The paucity of stroke treatment hardly escaped his attention.
Did he do anything about it do you think.Well no he didn't.
He has since been Minister for Health amongst other Cabinet positions.
Has he done anything about 8 years delays in providing physio for people like me.Well no he hasn't.
Do you think that I am remotely impressed by all the razzmatazz he is putting out about himself.
Well no I am not.

The Lord Mayor is dead.

Dunderrians worldwide will know who I  mean.As decent a man as ever lived.

Definition of misery .

I heard the Black Crow saying that were he to win the Lotto he would concrete the bog,such was his dread of futtin turf while being ate by midges.
Most people hereabouts would agree,although there are those strange individuals who would demurr.
But if threr is one job more hateful this time of the year it is pulling ragworth before cutting a meadow.
As hateful as it gets.
