The author discusses the ongoing under-investment in healthcare in Ireland, exemplified by the Children’s Hospital debacle. The Irish Medical Organisation (IMO) recently called for the €13 billion Apple tax windfall to be exclusively invested in the healthcare sector. The author questions whether this investment in healthcare would provide the best value compared to other areas such as housing, education, or technology. The author suggests that the IMO should provide more detailed plans and statistics on how the money would benefit Irish people, not just doctors. Ultimately, the government may allocate a portion of the money to healthcare, but the author advocates for a more strategic approach to ensure lasting impact.
