Psychiatrist wait times 2021 Dublin

Hi, I'm waiting on a referral that my GP has made for me to see an outpatient psychiatrist. She has done referrals for both public and private to see which comes quicker. Can anyone advise how long I can expect to wait?

I'm waiting on a referrel for private. I'd say I'll be waiting a few weeks. It usually happens quite quickly.
Don't know about public.

But with Covid there might be a delay.

I was waiting 9 weeks to get a referrel to a private consultant. I have been referred on to the public services. I was told I wouldn't be waiting that long but I have my doubts.
For interest I will post back here when seen.
