Interesting podcast last night Soeckle , thanks .
Reinforces what I have been saying all along .
Staff will be taken from areas like theatre and recovery to staff ICU beds if necessary , but the down shot of this is a reduction in general medical and elective surgery .
There are, simply put , as I and other in the area have said , not enough specially trained and experienced nurses to run extra ICU beds .
Nurses from other areas will have to work supervised for quite a while to be able to perform with any level of autonomy, and in situations like this there is little time to train or supervise .
Last year when I said this on the Nurses strike thread that specialist nurses were leaving Ireland to work in Australia , UAE and Canada because they were not adequately paid for their qualifications and experience , I was told by some who are shouting on this thread for " more beds , more ICU beds , now ! " that there were enough nurses in Ireland , and that they were better paid than anywhere else .
These nurses some of whom tried to come back initially when the crisis began should be offered flights home , and re registration in Ireland asap along with a compensatory bonus for coming home to help in what is, after all , a national emergency.
Present re registration is taking at least 3 months btw , which is ridiculous as most of the qualifications are standardised internationally and have been for years .

Absolutely agree with you re staffing. These are the issues the HSE/Government/Nephet should have been working on over the summer, to have in place.


But even taking that into account, there should be nothing stopping getting the beds and structures in place now, because I would think any nurse/doctor would be rather working looking after extra or non critical patients even in one of the above facilities I posted than on a corridor on chairs and trolleys?


Glad you enjoyed that video post from last night shows the amazing hard work that our medical staff are doing in the back ground trying to organize things, they need to be backed up even better by the government.


Some third world countries are dealing with this better than us.

I take it there's zero media to ask questions?

That'll be Claire Byrne's job later and we know how doggedly enquiring she isnt

No, it was 'ketch'.

Disappointing he didn't dance down the stairs at the beginning. He makes John Bruton seem exciting.

Ah, ffs - I caught the waffle, but not the start with the actual info. I presume it's just Level 3 for everywhere and nothing else of substance?

So do your bit or yes we will increase the Level

He gave plenty of information about the enforcement side of things anyway, it's clearly all planned out!

Without massive fines certain people don't care. Spend an hour on a bus, train or Luas and you will see it.

No he said "Fetch" as in "Stop trying to make fetch happen" from Mean Girls.

I fully expect that when the tin foil hat brigade decide to march up Grafton St the next day that they'll be firmly stopped in their tracks.

I've done all I can to date and will continue to do so but others need to get their sh!t together.

Well, that would be good if it actually happened. We'll see what happens!

Level 3 was not enforced in Dublin, we will see what happens with the country wide one. Can’t see it being enforced.

I'm confused some folk are saying restrictions becoming law from midnight tonight and other sources are saying midnight on Tuesday night. Which one is it?
