    This may be the point where the SF bubble starts to deflate slightly - easily Mary Lou's weakest debate to date. By contrast, Martin's strongest performance, and Varadkar doing little here to address the slide.

    Well said- Leo very poor just blew fg out of it

    A hospital, any old hospital, will not save you. The magic hour means getting to competant medical professionals and facilities. You simply cannot have these all over the country. No country does!

    I disagree regional hospitals are essential. You're views on health care are elitist and only of benefit to large urban areas.

    It's consistent with your attitude that most Irish are plebs, we have no culture etc. The patricians, like yourself, know best and would like to rejoin the Empire.

    That didn't work out well for 700 years so why would it now.

    SF are part of the establishment so why does Mary Lou paint both FF and FG as the establishment(which they are) when SF aren’t a fringe party.

    Air ambulance will have that.

    The chances are that you're going to die in the A&E of one of the small regionals anyway. Outcomes have improved since the ones that managed to get closed did close.

    Dublin and Cork both have an insane number of A&Es for a city of their sizess too.


    Air ambulances fly at night? News to me.....

    Nice point by MLM when she pointed out the FFG will come up with all the reasons in the world to leave the big boys alone and gouge the citizens instead.

    I can solve the nurse/dr/teacher problem.

    Make them work here for 2 years before they get their practising certs to move on. That way we always have new drs/nurses/teachers coming into the system - their 3rd level education is subsidised here so let them work in the system that supported them.

    Yeah not a bad idea. How about the welfare wasters do the same ?

    Ciara Kelly on newstalk went on a rant about it one day last week and she made so much sense.

    When a GP visit costs 35 quid, when junior has the sniffles he is given a shot of Calpol and sent to bed. When GP visits are free, he's brought to the doctor. And when a working person has an appointment for 11am, he/she has to wait til 1pm to be seen because the waiting room is full of sniffling kids.
    I don't disagree with paying to see a gp, northern Ireland is a joke doctors surgery awash with people (speaking from experience), don't pay for doctors visit and don't pay for a prescription.

    Crazy giving additional money to our already generous pension and not supporting childcare and housing to raise the new breed of taxpayer to support it.

    Another thing they tend to do is actually resign as an MP if caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

    Wouldn't hurt if we adopted that policy too

    How long is left in this debate ? None of the leaders have helped themselves with this debate and by being on TV may hurt themselves.

    Very poor performance by Mary Lou,

    You hardly expected her to suddenly become capable did you. Her true level is somewhere between county councillor and TD.

    The regional hospitals don't have the kit, staff and expertise to save you if you rock up there out of hours (or in hours, in some cases).

    Properly fund and staff the air ambulance services instead.

    Who would you have running Air Ambulances?

    Another 500million contract to CHC? Or perhaps a 3.5million euro part time contract for a fixed wing aircraft that won't do any domestic work?

    It is for the value for money it gives - sucking money away from Limerick where it would give better efficiency.

    Incorrect. Scaled down services provided in Nenagh being used to relieve pressure on Limerick with patients frequently transferred to Nenagh from Limerick to free up beds in Limerick. Minor injuries unit also used in Nenagh in an attempt to prevent people needing to use A&E in Limerick,therefore also helping to reduce pressure on the hospital. The catchment area and population increase in recent years means it is simply impossible for the hospital to deal with the number of pepple who need it
