Its great to see such gathering on the Irish left. All those who call them socialists rally to the call. The cause of Labour is the cause of Ireland!
According to today's Irish Times, SF want to make private hospitals illegal in the Republic of Ireland. Can they promise that won't lead to hospital waiting-lists in the Republic being as long as in Northern Ireland, where there are virtually no private hospitals? SF ought to be aware of this, since their Minister, Barbara DeBruin, was in charge of the health service in Northern Ireland from 2000 to 2002. When she took office the number on the hospital waiting-list there was 48,000. When she left office the number on the hospital waiting-list there was 58,000. Its since come down to about 50,000. In the Republic of Ireland, which has 2.5 times the population of Northern Ireland, the number on the hospital waiting-list is about 20,000. Let's hope Barbara DeBruin never gets to be Minister for Health in the Republic of Ireland.
