Protest to Save Respite Care at Cherryorchard Hospital
Start: 4:00 pm
End: 5:00 pm
Carers and their loved ones who receive roll-over respite care in Cherryorchard Hospital have been informed by the HSE that the newly refurbished Beech Unit at Cherryorchard Hospital is to close indefinitely. The management at the hospital have saidthat the closure of the Beech Unit is due to staff shortages for the Summer months. However, they could not give any guarantees as to when it will reopen.
 
The carers and their families with the support of People Before Profit are having a Protest on Friday 3rd July @ 4pm. We are asking for you support at help save the vital Respite Care services in this area.
 
Protest starts from Church of Assumption (at Kylemore roundabout, Ballyfermot) and will travel to Cherryorchard Hospital

Protest outside the HSE headquarters to stop cuts to Cherryorchard Hospital
Start: 12:00 pm
End: 1:00 pm

During the recent protest at Cherryochard Hospital , senior management  revealed that  they couldn’t hire the staff needed to cover the annual and maternity leave because of the HSE's  embargo on the hiring of staff. Nurses who are taking annual leave and maternity leave are not being replaced. The HSE embargo on recruitment is once again seriously hurting patients receiving respite care and their families.
Cherry-orchard management have told Carers that all roll-over patients would receive respite care in private nursing homes instead and the Beech Unit would close.

 We need to take this campaign to the HSE and force them into changing their position regarding staffing levels at Cherryorchard Hosptial. We are calling on everyone to meet outside the HSE Headquarters ( the Old Steeven’s Hospital opposite Heuston Station) on Thursday 6th July 2009 @12.00.

People Before Profit (Tralee) Meeting
Start: 7:30 pm
End: 8:30 pm
Imperial Bar, Tuesday 21st July @ 7.30pm

This meeting follows a well attended talk by Kieran Allen on "Ireland's Economic Crash", held recently.

AGENDA to include:

1. Outreach strategy: Dingle group/public meeting

2. Lisbon II campaign

3. An Bord Snip cutbacks

We have experienced favourable public reaction to our stalls on Lisbon II and An Bord Snip.

Meanwhile, the strong Labour Party vote for Tralee Town Council does not seem to indicate any willingness by the LP to fight cutbacks or service charges.

A space is open for us to campaign strongly on these issues.

Bring your ideas along on Tuesday. All welcome.
