I was hoping this thread would be about a fake news story, published 81 years ago

How do we know the lying about her age and having accommodation part isn't false? Why vigorously choose to believe one story over the other? Don't have a clue what to believe here tbh.

This all day long.

Exactly.

Seems when she was discharged she may have been told to go to a hostel as she is homeless but vehemently refused; these are not always good places. Was an interview a while ago with a young pregnant newly homeless woman sleeping in a shop doorway because of what she had been subjected to on a hostel.

She sounds also confused and hence the age confusion?

Fact is that she was in hospital so was ill enough to be there. Which means ill. and far from the first person to be prematurely discharged. Fact also is it was a dreadfully cold night for person let alone a elderly sick person to be wandering the streets, and at that age she needs more than a hostel and be turned out at 10 am

As far as I have seen the hospital are staying quiet.

Hope she is safe

If you're homeless and in hospital, you must be discharged to some form of accommodation.
Both main Dublin city hospitals have homeless liaison teams of nurse and social workers.
Before discharge, accommodation would've have been sourced and documented where she was placed.
I'm working in homeless services years , sometimes you just have to read between the lines , theres more to that story than meets the eye.

Agree but to wildly accuse as some have done? If they sent her to a hostel and she was scared? I know what I would do in such a situation.

There is indeed more to this than meets the eye. The authorities do not always get it right as I know personally to my cost and pain.

Over and out from me on this. I just hope she stays safe. She is my concern. For safety and peace

Just the attitudes here … Not yours I hasten to say.

Seems like something did happen, but it was blown way out of proportion in order to drive home the issue. It's why I'm reluctant to believe anything these days without solid proof. Not a bad way to live really, just means you will be left with only a few stories instead of all the media hysteria.

It's up there with those who put their children on social media in order to prove a point about homelessness, all in an effort to skip the queue and get something before someone else.

There are so often more to these stories than meets the eye. This individual has mental health issues and gave an incorrect age to the person that picked her up.

She was discharged from hospital into the care of outreach workers and subsequently refused whatever interventions they had set up. However a hostel was never going to be the right place for such individuals.
I think legislation is needed here to allow for patients to be held in hospital against their will where there are welfare/mental health issues at play.

So basically FAKE news as I stated in the OP.

How are the media allowed get away with this every day?
