    My god, what were they thinking :eek:

    No idea, it was an isolated incident, but there still is a big rift in trust between the army and the guards. Some of the army lads are a great laugh, but a lot of them (to my own mind) seem unstable at the best of times.

    i've thought over my initial and hastily written comment about consultants been lazy gits and i wish to withdraw them.

    That's a nice gesture. Fair play to you :)

    We all say things when we haven't really thought them true, but it's refreshing when someone admits to it.

    One comment on A&E. While of course they do triage, quite often they don't explain it to the lower priority cases and then you get the "I spent X hours waiting" complaints.

    That is a common problem, there should be separate waiting areas for the different triage categories , I know how upset it can be in Macdonalds if one queue goes faster than yours.

    If there were separate waiting rooms people would feel they were being seen in turn, I think this would diffuse much of the tension the triage system creates.

    Gardai Get on well with them and definitely don't envy the work they have to do.

    A&E Have a huge workload so wouldn't like to do the work they do either, though there is a few that ignore you, a simple "hey lads, be with you in 5mins" would do, though thankfully they are few and far between, and the overall majority are extremely friendly and helpful towards us.

    Army No dealings with

    Prison service Again no dealings

    Coast Guard Have worked with the coast guard helicopter a few times, and have to say I'm extremely impressed with their professionalism. Very friendly & helpful. I have allot of respect for the guys and the work they do. Never had any dealings with the volunteers though so can't comment on them.
