The Beacon Hospital, Dublin (top) owned by Denis O’Brien
Yesterday evening.
Tom Lyons, in The Currency, reported:
It was responsible for signing a deal that saw Ireland’s privately owned hospitals temporarily taken over by the state as Ireland desperately tried to increase its healthcare capacity as Covid-19 reached its shores in March.
Now, however, the Beacon Hospital, owned by millionaire businessman Denis O’Brien, has decided to leave the Private Hospital Association (PHA) with immediate effect and manage its own future negotiations.
The move has caused consternation among fellow hospital owners involved in the group.
The Beacon has made it clear to other members that it will no longer rely on the PHA when negotiating any future contracts with the state in relation to Covid-19 or any other matter.
Tuesday: The Cost Of Going Private
Maybe it’s time to look at Licence s to operate hospitals in the state
If you are not a member of PHA you cannot operate
A hospital is not exactly a sweet shop and not just black life’s matter
Seems don I’m has received enough public money and got us Irish to pay his debts through liquidations
and remember fiber broadband and the billions it cost and the insistence of going ahead with it as denis Obriens company site serve made a killing
We are seeing now satellite broadband being launched
It is hailed the way to go and an investigation into why the country or government did not go down that route
Always thought O’Brien was worth billions, not millions…
His Empire is built on tick
And after covid watch and see his empire liquidated
And we as a nation
Will be paying for it
He obviously prefers the more private, intimate, one to one, face to face, negotiations with Fine Gael led Government Departments
Shur’ why wouldn’t he
Its a business strategy that’s worked for him before
Except for his shopping Chanel before he wangled esat
Which went happy pear
Well at least he had losses to eat into the few bob he squeezed out of eSat
We the Irish people need to get rid of these money grabbers out of this country – start with DOB – too long getting away with corruption
Another avenue opened to fill the boots of the big man. No doubt the freedom of information route will be blocked as well.
Note where FFGs loyalties lie.
