We stand in solidarity with the Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Paediatric Advocacy Group and the Scoliosis Advocacy Network after both organisations pulled out of a scoping exercise for a Tribunal of Inquiry into Children’s Health Ireland.

Our health spokesperson, Pádraig Rice said, said: “Families deserve the truth about the serious failures at CHI, which include unnecessary surgeries, unapproved orthopaedic interventions, the use of non-medical devices in children without informed consent, and the mismanagement of waiting lists.”

This is a mess of the Minister for Health’s own making. She must make good on her previous commitments and deliver a process that is truly collaborative and transparent. That needs to start with the disclosure of documents.

Happy Fathers’ Day!

While we love a jazzy sock or a cheesy apron as much as the next guy, what dads really want this Father’s Day is for being a dad to be a little less stressful.

Affordable groceries, flexible working, childcare that doesn’t cost a second mortgage, more than two weeks’ leave with your newborn - it shouldn’t be too much to ask.

That’s why we’re a party of short term supports, and long term solutions.
