The day Sinn Fein and SDLP call for the end of separate schools for Catholic kids, that’ll be the day I’ll take anything they have to say about shared futures seriously.
Personally speaking, my experience of a relative in one of these homes ‘under threat’, left me horrified.
What sort of system allows unqualified care staff to dispense medicines to elderly residents at night?
I couldn’t see that home closed soon enough for the safety of those who live there.
I take it those who voted in favour, against the stated will of their church, will be considering whether that church is the right one for them in the future….
Come on, we might get a flags commission…..just think of those cushy chairs in a nice big office, a panel of appointees, expenses and meetings, lots of meetings, and reports. More public sector jobs created. Success all round.
