Crime In Mind (TV3): The Dunne Family

JonathanAnon · 2011-02-14 21:07:08

This was postponed from last week I think.. but they must have cleared it all with the solicitors in the mean time.. I'm not sure that they should be doing a "crime" program on this..

I think it was an episode of Scannal on RTÉ that was postponed - see this thread.

It's interesting that RTÉ choose to delay it out of deference to the outgoing Govt. (FF) and TV3 fire ahead and show the same subject matter.

The Dunne family's story is tragic beyond belief but unfortunately, this is not the first time that this has happened in Wexford. As a mother of a little four year old I couldn't bring myself to watch tonights programme.

I feel that it would be more helpful if RTE and TV3 got to the root of the real problem - i.e why the HSE fail to provide crucial out of hours services to families and people in distress, (social workers, psychologists and psychiatrists).

It always annoys and upsets me the way the HSE can provide counselling to a community after a tragedy happens, while some people with serious mental health issues are unable to access services when they need them due to cutbacks and long waiting times. What is the point of running expensive mental health TV ads encouraging people to talk about their mental health if they can't access appropriate services in a timely fashion?
