Leo Varadkar spoke at the Doolin lecture, discussing pay negotiations for doctors and nurses in Ireland. He advised doctors not to sell themselves short and suggested they could expect an increase in pay. However, he expressed concern about the lack of new hospitals being built. Varadkar also mentioned the need for more hospital beds and criticized the reduction in beds, partly due to advice from medics and specialists. Additionally, Varadkar mentioned the lack of understanding of percentages among his colleagues in Dáil Eireann. The article also highlighted the alcohol industry’s efforts to limit information on alcohol’s carcinogenic effects and the prevalence of overweight illegal drug users in Ireland.
