“This is institutional abuse.” With the fallout from the #RTÉInvestigates programme on Ireland’s nursing homes continuing, Trinity College’s Prof Des O’Neill joins Fran McNulty to discuss the wider implications — and what must change. WATCH: RTÉ News | #rtept

@franmcnulty @rtenews The standard of "care" in Irish nusring homes is never going to improve while they keep employing illegal unvetted migrants from Africa instead of employing Proper Irish staff. #HowIrelandWorks

@franmcnulty @rtenews These private nursing homes are there to Maximise profit for shareholders and investors .

@franmcnulty @rtenews Healthcare should NEVER be for profit .Watched the programme this evening . Who the f**k are Eneis ? Why aren’t carers paid a decent salary ? Why are essential care items limited ? Why are staff not properly trained & monitored ? The answer is easy …it’s all about profit margins

It is confirmed @FineGael policy to cover up the abuse of elderly women in NURSING HOMES. #SimonHarris blocked me on #X after tweeting about his direct link to cover up criminal acts in a NURSING HOME - a public policy issue in the public interest #GUBU - multiple eye witnesses to include staff and residents and captured on CCTV in the NURSING HOME. #SimonHarris as Tanaiste and as Minister for Health has blocked me on #X for confirming how he colluded and conspired to cover up domestic & gender based violence & abuse & criminal acts against an elderly woman with #Alzheimers by a senior civil servant friend / colleague of #LeoVaradkar - ACTS OF PURE EVIL COVERED UP BY THE #WeaselHarris - IT SHOULD END HIS CAREER IN DISGRACE. -> he cannot deny it - he ignores it. -> Simon Harris sets up more women to be victims of violence - the true culture and attitude embedded in #FineGael. The following sets out a REAL LIFE example of how 🇮🇪 women are set up to be subject to; elder abuse & criminal acts +domestic & gender based violence & abuse by Simon Harris. -> an elderly woman, my mother with #Alzheimers #Dementia who was a victim of; elder violence & abuse & criminal acts in her home and in a NURSING HOME acts of pure evil. -> by a senior civil servant, a friend / colleague of Leo Varadkar who is connected to #LeoVaradkar through the Department of Transport #GUBU (now protected by #SimonHarrisTD +@HMcEntee), the civil / public sector network and, to include thru debating in #TrinityCollege @tcddublin @TheHist #TheHist. @Paschald @Dept_Transport @DarraghOBrienTD ->as also known and covered up by #PaschalDonohoeTD @DeptCultureIRL @GardaSiochanaHq @AGSI_Ireland @gardarep @PeterDu25677060 #DrewHarris. -> this SCANDAL includes at least €100,000 robbed from an elderly woman with #dementia #Alzheimer - full proof, bank statements etc as ignored by #Garda in Terenure +Tallaght - #PeterDuff - #GardaScum IGNORING PRIMA FACIE EVIDENCE. Were #GardaScum in Terenure bribed or just deviant to cover up criminal acts? IGNORING THIS SCANDAL WILL SET UP FURTHER WOMEN TO BE VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE IN NURSING HOMES - IS THAT ACCEPTABLE TO @OCallaghanJim? -> WILL @labour CONTINUE TO IGNORE TO THE SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE +ROLE OF @ivanabacik - IT IS IN HER CONSTITUENCY AND SHE IS PERSONALLY CONNECTED TO THE ABUSE OF MY MOTHER WHO HAD #Dementia #Alzheimers ??? -> PLEASE 'DM' ME AS THERE IS PRIMA FACIE EVIDENCE- IT IS A CRIME SOCIETY CANNOT AND MUST NOT TOLERATE. @CarrollJennifer @MaryLouMcDonald @Toibin1 @GSINSP @GardaOmbudsman @gardainfo @PolicingAuthIRL @alzheimersocirl @SonasDVCharity @West_Cork_Women @aoibhneas_org @odvss @btsadv @Womens_Aid @SAFEIreland @WomensAidNI @CareChampions2 @AftercareIrl @andreagilligan @LunchtimeLiveNT @rteliveline @louiseburne_ @sarahmcg29 @SarahAMcInerney @RTE_PrimeTime @ciarathedoc @gataveckaite @ClaireBrockTV @NTBreakfast @cooper_m @HIQA @aoifehegs @maireadcleary7 @louiseburne_ @sarahmcg29 #StopViolenceAgainstWomen

@franmcnulty @rtenews This is absolutely criminal

@franmcnulty @rtenews Same as hospitals & most Irish businesses these days... the highly qualified scholars have fled and instead we have 3rd world non educated imbeciles running everything!!! Stupidity of the highest order!!! @MichealMartinTD @SimonHarrisTD

@franmcnulty @rtenews Are you going to call out the rising number of assaults and horrendous treatment of Irish elderly in care by immigrant employees mainly Nigerian

@franmcnulty @rtenews If you’re Irish and old the government hates you, if you’re Irish and young and want to buy a house the government hates you. If you’re non-Irish, you get everything handed on a plate for free . EU likes this.

@franmcnulty @rtenews The Minister totally ignored Prof O'Neill's crucial point: that for-profit nursing homes are the problem. A list of everyone who profits from these knackers' yards would be illuminating; no doubt they are powerful people because nothing has been done to stop the profiteering!
