When my non-EU students register with GNIB they can only do so by showing health insurance. The policy is in place. I'm asking for it to be extended to all not covered by PRSI/HSE etc treatment.

That ambulance would have been needed for someone genuinely ill but Belinda couldnt care less about that. The travellers dont care about anyone else either, they want to live in proximity to houses they can steal and shops they can rob so they wont accept halting sites in very isolated rural areas. That is the only solution to people who want to live in squalor at the side of the road, put them a good distance from everyone else so their behaviour only impacts on them.

For example, if you are stupid enough to call an ambulance for something such as a broken finger, you will NOT be seen to before someone who has say, a fractured hip, who brought themselves to hospital. Or someone having a heart attack. Arriving by ambulance does not push you to the top of the queue. Patients are assessed by severity, not their means of transport. Similarly, if a pregnant woman called an ambulance, she wouldn't get to skip any queue for her antenatal appointment. If she was rushed to hospital with a suspected epileptic fit (which can induce labor) she'd be seen by the emergency team, which would be an entirely different department to the antenatal department. Is it really being suggested that she gets out of the ambulance and just strolls up to the top of the queue to see her midwife for a scan at the antenatal clinic? Really? I smell bullsh*t.

tretorn wrote: » You werent there disbelieving Thomas, I was. Belinda according to the nurse pretended she was having a fit everytime she was due for an ante natal appointment. She called an ambulance so she could get to the hospital without paying for a bus or taxi. I dont care what the procedure is now, this is what one Nigerian did twenty years ago.

Nigerian dont queue for anything, thats their culture. A friend delivered her baby in the maternity hospital in Drogheda. The proud traveller Daddy tried to conceive his next child the night the new one was delivered. He got into the hospital bed with his wife and tried to have sex with her. Those traveller women must be all incontinent by the time they are thirty, they are hardly back from the welfare office with the new buggy when they are pregnant again. I wish some journalist or Radio host would ask them why they cant use contraceptives, is it a religious thing. Its not as if the general taxpayer would mind paying a few more euro if it meant contraceptives were delivered by the truckload to the travellers. The non PC staff threw him out.

(UK) Government welfare reforms are fuelling a rise in homelessness in towns and cities across the country, an Observer investigation has found. Interviews with homelessness charities across England reveal a support system in crisis as the rollout of universal credit and freezes to local housing allowance rates put even basic accommodation beyond the means of many. One shelter said universal credit was a factor in a third of its clients ending up in its care.
