We call for temporary public control over private hospitals to be extended to bring them into permanent, public ownership. This would lay the foundation of an All-Ireland National Health Service free at the point of delivery and fit for the health needs of our population in the 21st century. The campaign for an All-Ireland National Health Service is based upon the following principles: o All hospitals under public control o Increased pay and an enhanced career structure for nurses and all health and social care workers. o For publicly funded Primary Care that includes mental health support, physiotherapy, speech therapy etc. o For an integrated Health and Social Care service o The establishment of a state pharmaceutical company to manufacture essential medicines at low cost. o The exclusion of private practice and fees from public hospitals After this crisis, there are likely to be others. There will also be a backlog of untreated patients which will put even greater strain on our health services, North and South. In this situation the creation of an All Ireland National Health Service is more urgent than ever. Post Covid-19 there can be no going back.

Lower the tax bracket to give all HCWs,includin  section 39 agency workers,an incentive to work overtime to help clear waiting lists. Tax is so high overtime means paying the amount in tax of a  shift. So basically you are volunteering to work a shift. Alot of HCW work 12 or 13 hours shifts.  Which can mean getting up at 6am and not getting home until after 9 or 10pm. Time away from our families is  precious.

We are calling on the Irish government to allocate increased funding to the mental health sector. Specifically, we urge the government to support us in addressing the alarming increase in deaths through suicide by providing more staff in the mental health sector, by making it easier for people to access dual and aftercare services and by supporting both individuals and volunteer groups who are currently lending their time and energy to preventing further loss within their local communities through suicide.

To enable the required social distancing during the current crisis Limerick Cycling Campaign and the Irish Pedestrian Network now call on Limerick Council to urgently implement the following: 1. Reallocate road space to people walking and cycling – widen footpaths to 3 metres and introduce a circular segregated cycle route in and around the city encompassing either Shannon Bridge or Sarsfield Bridge using cones, bollards, planters and signage. 2. Automate pedestrian signal crossings during daylight hours and increase pedestrian crossing times across the city. 3. Temporarily lower speed limits to 30 kph in urban and suburban areas. 4. Support a weekly Cyclovia event – where certain streets are closed off each Saturday to facilitate exercise and play whilst observing physical distancing.
