The Ombudsman’s Office recently attempted to CLOSE MY CASE without advising me, or addressing ANY of my concerns with @HSELive
It’s office is supposed to deal with complaints independently & impartially. This has not happened Minister @SimonHarrisTD. Why? #medicalcardscandal pic.twitter.com/8SOQDs7qVT

Anyone know what has happened to Princess Latifa since Mary Robinson’s ‘mercy mission’? Are we meant to pretend all that didn’t happen?
You would think the Law Society and in particular the Irish Women Lawyers’ Association might be concerned but, alas, no.

Last month I was 26 years reunited with my natural mother, who is fully supportive of me getting everything on my file. Yet there are dozens of redacted pages. So I repeat, who is the State trying to ‘protect’? #AdoptionBill #KillTheBill #Stand4Truth https://t.co/J9SJDF9n4j

Last week: Conflating And Confusing privacy And Secrecy
A [unnamed] restaurant has been ordered to pay €20,000 in compensation to a gay bar manager after a director called him ‘queer’ almost every day at work.
In the case before the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), the bar manager gave a number of examples of being subject to offensive comments from his two bosses.
‘Director A’ uttered the vast majority of comments to the bar manager. WRC Adjudication Officer Marian Duffy said: “I cannot comprehend how senior managers in a workplace would consider it acceptable to call such offensive names or make such offensive comments to a gay man.”

Some Old Queen asks:
Why all the secrecy [about naming the restaurant]?
