“The two doses, they’re not enough for omicron. The third dose of the current vaccine is providing quite good protection against deaths, and decent protection against hospitalisations.”

“We have seen with a second dose very clearly that the first thing that we lost was the protection against infections.

“But then two months later, what used to be very strong in hospitalisation also went down. And I think this is what everybody’s worried about.

A small sample of the enormous online response prompted by Sinéad O’Connor’s condemnation of Tusla and the HSE’s Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).

Ms O’Connor’s 17-year-old son Shane, who was on suicide watch, was found dead last weekend after he went missing from hospital.

Ms O’Connor said on Twitter:

“A month ago Shane was brought to CAMHS after vanishing leaving suicide notes including detailed funeral plans. They discharged him. Said he had no plans. When objections were raised by the adult with him she was told “planning a funeral is no different to planning a wedding”.

“If I may venture … I’ve been married more times than Zsa Zsa Ga-fucking-bor and I’m here to tell CAMHS that planning my child’s funeral is nothing remotely similar to planning his wedding. Which will now never happen. Because you’re unfit for purpose.”
