Private school teachers prioritised for vaccinations

You thought the postcode lottery scandal yesterday was bad.

Stay tuned to find out if Leo's partner who works at the Beacon was involved.

The individual who did this should be sacked. But then again a different prick vaccinated his family ahead of student staff in Coombe and got away with it, so what's to stop anyone who has the authority to just give them to their buddies.

Oh and I will of course tactically omit the name of the businessperson who owns this hospital.

We're all in this together...unless you're not one of 'our own'.

26-03-2021 2:08am

If you're privileged you skip the queue, the golden circle looks after its own. Back of the line plebs.

shtpEdthePlum · 26-03-2021 2:11am

Dismantle the HSE and sell the shyte parts to the uk. That's all of it.

This is my anthem now, 40 times every day. I'm this close to sticking my head in a blender the next time the news comes on.

"Somebody should do something"

Good auld privatisation.

I don't want it privatised, I wanted funded properly. We shouldn't have to pay for health insurance, health should be provided for seeing as we work ourselves to the bone every day paying half our fuhking wages into the system that absolutely pounds us into the ground. Seriously, what do we get for our tax euros. Families of disabled children get a surveillance detail instead of education provision, private school teachers get vaccinated, abortions for some and miniature Irish flags for the rest.

It's a rag

But they wouldn't have run this unless their solicitors triple checked the facts

They know DOB can sue them into next year if they're wrong

No idea where my post went but...

I agree, insurance companies have siphoned an incalculable amount of money out of our pockets over the decades - money that should have gone into a robust universal healthcare system.

Maybe some day we'll be able to join the rest of the developed world and have ourselves a 20th century health service.

20 teachers here, 16 family members of Coombe staff there...

All adds up.

26-03-2021 2:42am

Yep, to more ppl vaccinated

GT89 · 26-03-2021 2:43am

They're welcome to it

Why don't we hold a big auction of doses , you could put your bid in and the amount you pay decides your order, could donate the money to homeless charities, after all the order doses are received in apparently makes no difference.

Stovepipe · 26-03-2021 2:52am

Did you really think they were going to give it to the common people?

shtpEdthePlum · 26-03-2021 7:58am

I can't wait until my uncle who is a senior manager in the HSE has his turn and gives vaccines to all of us.

I'm honestly thinking that this category will come around faster than my place in other HCWs.

BanditLuke · 26-03-2021 8:04am

I'd say this carry on is rife tbh. Goes on in all sectors of Irish life why would they change it for this. Us and them.

https://extra.ie/2021/03/26/news/irish-news/teachers-from-fee-paying-school-get-covid-jab-from-private-hospital

On Tuesday, 20 teachers and staff at the prestigious fee-paying St Gerard’s Catholic School in Bray received vaccines.

The Irish Daily Mail has confirmed that children of the CEO of the Beacon Hospital, Michael Cullen, attend the school.

Within an hour of the school being contacted by the hospital, the staff were at the hospital and all were vaccinated in a short time period.

We're all in this together :pac:

Don't think so, considering teachers are ranked 11 according to NIAC guidelines.

Good old Ireland

Corruption everywhere. We can’t get away from the nod and wink culture

That’s the real pandemic throughout all sectors of this country

dubrov · 26-03-2021 8:34am

Article is pure trash

Sweet.Science · 26-03-2021 8:37am

The school wasn't even in the same county as the Beacon

Sounds pre planned to me

Ireland elitism at its finest . Can't have those working in a private school waiting until our vulnerable are vaccinated

dashoonage · 26-03-2021 8:38am

At 4.30pm all of the bookings were completed and there were doses left over. It was either use them or let them go to waste.

I'm sure if they had rang the local cop shop, fire station or ambulance service 20 people would have turned up.

But instead they rang the local school.... Where the teachers interact with many more people per day than 'cops' or fire men

Shock horror....

They weren’t prioritised they were given it when they shouldn’t have been. It was 20 which I assume is not the whole staff.
Now it’s an absolute p1ss take them getting it but genuinely when I saw the thread title I thought it was going to be some sort of official thing not someone going on a solo run.

Tork · 26-03-2021 8:43am

Maybe we just need an umbrella thread for incidents like this? While vaccines are scarce, the media will devour stories like this.

prunudo · 26-03-2021 8:44am

What always strikes me about these types of stories is the arrogance or absolute disconnect with the general public about how their actions look or are perceived once they inevitably end up in the media.

It's called looking after their own. Being going on since time immemorial and if they were on Titanic they'd have a seat in a lifeboat.

Now get back into steerage ye plebs.

Seems to be the mantra when vaccines are given to people at the decision of those that appear to be abusing/ignoring the vaccine rollout schedule.

If this is indeed another case of mismanagement/abuse of the persons position, it should result in recruitment blacklisting, anyone who purposefully or otherwise has allowed the HSE/government rollout to be in receipt of negative publicity should not be welcome to work within the system.

Weed out those people and you could create a culture where the HSE is actually functioning properly, it will take time but in 10-15yrs the system may not be broken.

Probably off topic but i was walking past a private school in rathmines(st marys). Saw groups of students maybe 60-70 all been coached rugby by teachers/coach. Full contact no pods etc. Now im all for opening up etc and getting on with life. But why are these allowed play sports in school while my son a first year student is at home stuvk on zoom.

ActingDanClark · 26-03-2021 8:58am

Nutgrove fire station, loughlinstown ambulance base, and the local Garda station in dundrum are much closer, but they'd be working class people

But they wouldn't be coming into contact with the CEO's kids.

Make sure you contact the Gardai so they can ignore it.

Left overs being used are what we applaud except of course when we don't like who they go to.

The misguided outrage is strong with this one.

thomas 123 · 26-03-2021 9:23am

Is it time to start arresting and charging - be it the hospital staff or the HSE for advising that this is okay.

Over 70’s with conditions are being turned away for gods sake.

It’s like every week we manage to set a new low in the country.

Leftovers should be used, of course. There is a multitude of places they could go to before you get to the teachers of a private school where the ceo of the hospitals kids happen to go to.

I cannot understand how anybody can defend this.

Local school?

Its in another fecking county, 13km down the road, there's 3 other schools literally within 500 metres of the beacon

Link to that claim? And under what might they be charged apart from the one you just made up in your head?

My grandmother

Turned away yesterday as not enough vaccines to do everyone delivered.

Thanks for the personal attack by the way, really forwards your agenda of “this is okay”.

What are you arresting for them? It's **** that stuff like this happens and really really destroys 'in this together' spiel. But they haven't broken any law

dubrov · 26-03-2021 9:30am

The choice is to throw away the excess or not.

You'd swear by the article that the teacher's in this school were the only ones in the country receiving the excess.

The journalist would have had to Scott through a long list to try and get this juicy story

I think you'll find it's a lack of actual facts on a trashy tabloid website that some are questioning.

They are meant to have backup lists that prioritise the current groups being vaccinated. Currently that's groups 1-4, teachers are group 11.
