Further to comments made in the Dáil last week by Fine Gael TD John Deasy in relation to the ‘Grace’ case, in which he raised serious concerns about the HSE…

Some local newspaper reports on meetings of the then South Eastern Health Board in 1995 and  1996 – the year the decision to remove ‘Grace’ from a foster home was reversed.

They detail the efforts of barrister Garry O’Halloran – then a Fine Gael councillor and member of the board – to highlight the issue of child sex abuse in the area and the South Eastern Health Board’s response to the matter at the time.

They talked for 627 hours.

Mary Cosgrove writes:

“I was wondering if you could help us find people who lost 28 days of their lives to the world’s longest continuous debate in UCG (as it then was) almost 20 years ago. If any of the Broadsheeters have only a vague memory of February 1995, and that involves discussing ornamental fish, Joe Dolan and the phrase “keep talking”, we want them to get in touch at the Facebook page below.”

“This might interest you for the weekend that’s in it. For a time back in the 1990s I was one of the producers of St. Patrick’s Festival. Best job ever.
In 1998, I had the opportunity to invite the guys who dye the Chicago river to come to Dublin and do the same to the Liffey.
Here are some pics of the event. Not sure I’d get away with it now.
The boat team scattered orange powdered dye into the water, which turned green on contact with the powder. This was around the time of the Good Friday Agreement and the Orange/Green transformation was much commented on.
Two friendly jet skiers acted as mobile mixers and spread the green colour between Grattan & Matt Talbot bridges.”
