    jaysus, I have re-written this post numerous times now due to its sensitivity of it.

    Suicide again, now with a medical card slant.

    Caller, don't blame the government, blame the HSE. They are who decide that frontline services get cut while consultants and managers remain on the gravy train.

    Why do they continue to let grieving parents on the air? Because its ratings gold, that's why. Disgusting.

    I can understand why the caller is looking for someone to blame, but this shouldn't be getting air time, surely?

    "There's no backup services"

    To be fair, this girl seems to not exactly have planned things out herself.. She had two kids within a year with a man she is no longer with.. From what this man has said, I'm pretty sure she was getting benefits from the State... If there was an issue with the medication, then they needed to buy it themselves until the issue was sorted...

    A lot of people on benefits seem to blame the State for everything, while doing nothing to help themselves..

    Why didn't the dad pay for her meds while she was waiting on her medical card?

    I would have given anything to have known the state my brother was in before he killed himself (he told no-one) and I would have spent any amount of money to help him.

    "The HSE is adamant that there isnt a problem"

    Who is the leader of the HSE? Who is the guy in charge? Answer: No-one.

    A committee is a collection of people who individually can do nothing but collectively can decide nothing can be done. The HSE fits this description perfectly.

    I want to discover who makes these statements in the HSE. I want to know their name, I want to know their face and then I want them to resign.

    A welfare state creates a culture of helplessness amongst it subscribers.

    Utter nonsense, You can blame all the people you want ,you shouldnt be on the radio. Your daughter killed herself. Her responsability.

    Duffy is a total disgrace putting this man on air.

    you miss the point , the HSE is meant to provide services for people who are ill , the truth of the matter is that the HSE merley pays lip service to the needs of ill people , ive seen it myself with relatives who have a son - brother with severe psychological problems

    She was eligible for the medical card but she didn't reapply for it, is that right?

    Dear Joe duffy..

    You have reached a new low bringing this obviously still grieving man on the radio and asking the most insensitive questions about both his daughters suicide and the gaurdianship of his grandkids to make some point about the issuing of medical cards.

    You are a disgrace

    cordially

    Jaysoose.

    I certainly have a history of complaining about the Government's counter productive levels of social welfare and benefits... But how you can call this an attack on the working classes (given that people on benefits arent working) is beyond me..

    the HSE lack of commitment to the area of mental health is a real issue and while every suicide case is different , if this case further highlights the shortcomings of policy in this area , that is a good thing
