Do they have a choice?Given the recent media reports of their involvement in the McCabe controversy I cannot see how schools consider them a fit organisation to work with.
That can be said for our entire health service, education sector and just about every other arm of the State (as well as many private companies and organisations, but they aren't suckling on the public tit).My own personal experience of Tusla (from wearing my "charity board" hat) is that there are some fine individuals within the organization but that the organisation is dysfunctional, badly led and badly organized and borderline shambolic.

I've had dealings with the Mental Health Services in relation to a family member and they are breathtakingly incompetent from a structural to an individual clinical level.True in many cases but there are degrees of incompetence and disfunction and to me, Tusla are one of the worst
How do you know they are the best you will ever get?I do voluntary work .We have several retired Mental Health Services Nurses who help out Individually and collectively The best you will ever get.
Maybe it is time for less opinions based on emotion and more based on empirical facts.
Opinions and conjecture have no place in the formation of policy and how we judge the quality or value of the delivery of services.
Our hospitals are have a deplorable record for MRSA and other infections. It is up to the hospitals to set and enforce protocols. Shifting the blame onto members of the public is a cop-out. If the patient is vulnerable then the hospital should make sure that only one family member is admitted (or whatever is necessary to at least improve the existing deplorable situation).Maybe you should follow your own advice. Presume you have a report to back up your assertion that it was a medical person who killed your friend. Do you know for sure it wasn't a family member or member of the public who came to visit when sick and who like 90% of visitors to hospitals think the signs about about cleaning hands and using the cleaning machines are just there for decoration. So maybe instead of blaming doctors and nurses, we should ban non-patients from visiting apart from one dedicated family member and they are forced to adhere to the standards.
That's the best you can do?You Were doing well until you came to your blind spot.
No offence jjm but if you cannot even put together a coherent sentence, with correct use of punctuation, correct spacing, correct use of uppercase and lowercase and correct spelling then it is very hard to give your post any credibility or to put any value on what your opinion is. If you expect to be taken seriously then please take the time to post something that is legible and coherent.I was not going to waste my time replying but I feel I have To.First off I have worked in multiple countries all over the world in Manufacturing engineering I have not seen better Employees than the plant in Ireland'I have reason to visited many of our suppliers in multiple countries Taken on tours of there facilities in return they have visited our plants all over the World The Irish plant is the benchmark the rest follow this is down to the Employees I believe Irish nurses are no different .I work in costings in costings you can see all of the way down to the bottom and right up to the top.This also allowed me to meet lots of people who overestimate there Competence in the engineering world around Ireland some of them though the were Ist class only to find out when margins got tight the market took care of them they were 3rd rate lucky to hold on to there Jobs at half the money others got ran only to find out there real worth was from 40%/ 45% to 50% when the arrived in the real World. .I have being up close to cancer chemotherapy before and after limb sparing surgery carried out In Ireland so successful surgical teams from all over the world came to see the results followed by construct reconstruction surgery followed by stem cell transplant followed by several more bouts of chemotherapy. any one who knows anything about construct reconstruction after chemotherapy knows there are risks of infection because the chemotharapy has weakened there immune system The problem as I understand is lots of people who overestimated there competence got hired to put in best practices in the public sector you cannot blame Nurses they knew it was not going to work but they could do nothing about it.
CB, lots of people have trouble with writing and punctuation. It doesn't invalidate their points or opinions or make them less intelligent than someone with good writing skills. I've met many the well spoken fool.No offence jjm but if you cannot even put together a coherent sentence, with correct use of punctuation, correct spacing, correct use of uppercase and lowercase and correct spelling then it is very hard to give your post any credibility or to put any value on what your opinion is.

I don't disagree Purple but I don't think the post from jjm is simply a case of not knowing where to put commas and full stops. There is random use of uppercase letters as well. I don't think it is too much to ask someone to read over their posts to see if they could be tidied up a bit.CB, lots of people have trouble with writing and punctuation.
