There’s a lot to be said for the NHS etc. My cousins in Ireland need to pay more than €50 just to see a doctor, and I think even more for a visit to A&E. These are the things that ordinary people think of when they worry about which country they want to live in. For accuracy, over a third of the people have free GP care through the medical card. Durong the recession I think it went up to 45%. If you qualify you get it. My daughter also has Free GP visits. If anybody I'm Ireland needs a doctor they will get one within a few days generally. No long waits. It is just a different system and it is a lot better than we like to admit! Edited May 6, 2023 by Captain_Townsend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Townsend Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 (edited) Enjoying the discussion in here. It is far to say the partition of Ireland did not work out as planned by those who pushed it through!

There will be a lot of pro United Ireland propaganda (most of which will be lies) funded by Sinn Fein/IRA if it ever gets as far as a poll. They have more wealth than any other political party by miles and plenty more "donations" available if needed. The truth will be lost in the wash and I expect a border poll might actually result in a Yes for a united Ireland. The mess that would ensue after that doesn't bear thinking about. Gerald of Wales, the twelfth century propagandist of the English invasion of Ireland, has a lot to answer for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
