"CTV"

I'm amazed at the amount of Liveline contributors who have a problem saying "CCTV".

Jesus, is it that hard to say?

How much was the sandwich?

What's the story with these carers? Who's their employers? If it's the HSE or a private company then it's them they have to talk to in relation to parking, canteen space to prepare their own food etc. If it's the individual patient than they need to build these expenses into their fees.

I was always under the impression that hosptial parking was expensive as it was short term cost (and there's clearly a provision in place for those people who's relatives are in long term care) and was to deter people from parking there for the day and going into town which was a huge problem in my local hospital.

This woman's husband is in a hospice and what's worrying her is the price of parking and tea and coffee in James' vs the hospice.

Could she not use the Luas park and ride?

Speaking from experience the hospital dont tell you whats available to you if its a long term high dependency patient. Until 3-4months later after you having paid parking all along. Yet they see your face day in day night

All these people are talking about visiting hospitals in Dublin. Did they never hear of public transport???

I hope that coughing dog doesn't end up in hospital. Think of the 'barking' charges!

A lovely bit o' fraud.

Impersonation!!!
