Im very depressed and lost a lot of faith in humanity here

I am very depressed how the government is treated the most vunerable people in society. I am also very angry. It make me think This is not who irish people really are, we are kind and good people but why doesn't the irish government not help and protect the most vunerable people in its society because they are the people who really need help, these are the most defenseless members of society.

They don't help and protect children for decades or more, there has been alot of sihonesty overups and injustice not just in the church but over ups from all levels inculding the gardai. The hse is a mess the social care system for children and young adults is a complete mess. would they let they own son or daughter stay at an out of hours hostel and have to be out on the streets by 9am in the morning. Anyone with basic common sense can see how wrong that is what they are doing to those youth people leaving them out on the streets all day

They were going to means test pensioners!!! Older people who have worked hard most of their lives and many have health problems


They have cut special needs teachers for primary schools so children with severe dylexia and autism will not have much of a chance to reach their full educational potential because their education needs are not met. They have little to no strageties in place at secondary school for people with learning difficulties like dylexia and If you don't have the foundations how can you get the 3rd level.

They have no organisations or strageties for mental health re suicide preventative at all. They give millions to the RSA that is very good and thank God there is great awareness for road saftey but the fact is more people are killed by suicide that road accidents every year in this country.

They are taking money of the people who are stuggling to survive the people on low income and the people on welfare and the people who have disablities. Would they take money of their own son or daughter or their own mother or father who are struggling.


The fact that there alot of homeless people and the government has no one structure in place to prevent, reduce and combat it. They don't do nothing except offer those hostels which are breading grounds for drugs abusers and people who are drinking so if you want to get clean and your homeless its very hard. I don't understand why they don't provide what they really need, accodomation, treatment programmes and educational support for them to become educated go to college and get a job this would reduce the crime and give homeless people hope of getting on and doing the life thing.

Also the rights on emigirants is a voliation of human rights. I know one girl who is from outside the EU and she has an irish boyfriend who she is with for three years now, they have have child together but she doesn't have the right to live here premantely even thought her boyfriend and child are Irish!! that is a violation of the basic human right for a child to have both parents in their life and the family to remain together. They couldn't afford to take it to the European courts the solictors bills would be thousands

If you are non eu and God help you if you get sick here because unlike the uk's national health service, the HSE charges sick or injured people thousands to see a doctor to give the necessary treatment here in hospitals. Because in a small little country with a populationof 4 million, they value money over people's lives and people health. They have got their priorities all wrong. Would they want their own son or daughter to be treated like that. Its basic to treat people like how you want to be treated. I beleive personally what goes around comes around in some way shape or form if your not sorry and ashamed of the wrong things you have done.


I have lost faith in people in power here. This is how it is and im telling it like it is.

This is basically just a general rant.

polarbear133, if there's any specific issue you wish to discuss you can do so. You might also consider the Politics forum. Just note that both this forum (Humanities) and the Politics forum require a certain standard of contribution, so if you want to start a thread it should be something that will actually spark meaningful discussion, and not just a general moan.
