Two big cases in one week that affected straightly to the Public Health Service

Two of the affected women by the Public Health System

When it’s less than a month for the abortion referendum in Ireland, the politics and social talks about it are mixed up with upcoming news that can be nearly related with the health system problems.

On Monday, a surprising information related with the health service in Ireland was known by the Irish population. A 43 years old women who was given incorrect cervical cancer test results in 2014 realized that the results that an American laboratory in Texas gave her were wrong, and now she learn that her cancer is terminal. And she’s not the only affected, now the State’s National Screening Program says that more than 200 women diagnosed with the same illness should have received earlier intervention than they actually did.

On Tuesday night, the public TV channel RTE 1 cast a report in his show “Prime Time” about the case of a foster home (depending on the Public Health System) in Galway where three little girls were raped by a man that now has more than 23 rape accusations in which he was found guilty. The Health Service Executive has apologized to the three women that survived.

Two big cases in one week that affected straightly to the Public Health Service that related to the abortion topic is awaring about the decision of the Irish population.

And if we can relate another issue with the election day in May, all the media and the politicians started to talk about new general elections in Ireland. The Fienna Fail party wants to see if the referendum strategy of the Taoiseach Leo Varadkar will end as he wants.

If the results are bad for him (the victory of NO), this party and others may will start the pre-campaign forcing Varadkar to call for general elections even if we have more than a year for the end of the mandate.

According to the last polls, the Repeal side is going to win, but there's now lots of undecided voters that can change the result. These days the campaign is taking place in the media and also in the streets of Ireland. In some places like in the capital city the result is nearly clear . " Like the rest of Dublin, the NO side will always be playing against the wind here” said one NO campaigner in an Irish Times report this week. Also the big lobbies or pressure groups are dealing with the people's vote. The most important of those is the catholic church. “ Christians must be pro-life when it comes to the unborn and those who are vulnerable at the end of their lives, the Eighth Amendment would be a point of no return. Proposed future legislation would permit abortion wi...

The dangers of the referendum campaign

It is said that referendums are taken by the evil. One decision without middles points, YES or NO, is easy to be manipulate. The thought that the Irish population is informed by serious media with proffesional journalist is utopic. Nowadays the influence of Facebook or Twitter in the election campaigns is increasing. The suspect that fake news afected in elections like the Brexit one have push to the Mark Zuckerberg's company to create an artificial intelligence system that will be introduced by Facebook to root out foreign influence on the abortion referendum to prevent that Irish voters are beign exposed to disinformation. But this "new media" is not the only way to manipulate the voters. One basic methode is now the controversy topic in the campaign.
