A facebook friend sent me this link which tells of authorities who wickedly remove wardens from sheltered housing schemes. Older and vulnerable people go into sheltered housing often exactly because they want to know there is someone on hand, particularly overnight, should they need help. If you follow the link – it tells two tales of successful action against authorities who removed the wardens from sheltered housing schemes or changed the scheme to a ‘mobile’ warden moving around from place to place. Now – that is a happy ending and hopefully a red flag to stop this diminution of service and safety.

Lynne, have you been following the story of your abstentionist Westminster colleague Gerry Adams as reported by Nick Cohen in Today’s Independent? Worthy of further investigation I would imagine.
Lynne, sorry I misled you. It is in the Observer rather than the Independent. Given the work you did on the Baby P case I thought this one would interest you even if there is little you can do about it. It is really something Irish society and its political representatives should deal with. I will enclose the link.

NO – haven’t been following that story – will have a look if online. L
Very powerful article – thank you. Ireland will have to be prepared to go very deep to look at all of this.
