Since the Government took office in January, the number of children awaiting scoliosis surgery has risen from 112 to 131, despite 303 procedures being carried out by Children's Health Ireland (CHI) up to July. CHI noted that the list is constantly changing as patients are added and removed.In 2017, then–Health Minister Simon Harris pledged that no child would wait more than four months for surgery. That target remains unmet, and there have since been calls for the Tánaiste to resign on the back of his failed promises.Why are children waiting so long for surgeries, and what needs to be done to improve these wait times for children and their families?Joining Andrea to discuss is Bernard Mulvany, Advocate with Access for All Ireland, Co-Leader of the Spina Bifida Advocacy Group, Una Knightly and Carolann Walsh, whose 5-year-old daughter is currently waiting for an MRI scan for scoliosis.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 11ú lá de mí Lúnasa, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1979 bhí duine aois 17 coinníodh faoi choimeád ag cúirt speisialta I Luimneach de bharr gur rinneadh sé briseadh agus iontráil agus rún chun an foirgneamh a chuir trí thine. I 1989 thug daoine rabhadh chuig na bean tí nach raibh an t-oigheann micreathonnach ábalta baictéir dainséarach a mharú agus nach raibh sé ábalta bia amh a cócaráil. I 1979 ghabh cúpla daoine óga de bharr go raibh siad ag cur isteach ar na daoine a raibh ina chónaí I gCill Chaoi. I 1995 bhí An Chláir ag imirt iománaíocht I gCraobh na hÉireann sa chluiche leathcheannais don chéad uair I 63 bhliain agus bhuaigh siad I gcoinne Gaillimh. Sin The Boomtown Rats le I Don't Like Mondays – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1979. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1969 thug siad cuireadh do 350 duine chuig ceolchoirm d'amhránaí nua a shínigh le Mowtown Records. Chan The Jackson Five ag The Daisy Club I gCalifornia. I 2000 saolaíodh Madonna leanbh mic darbh ainm Rocco Ritchie ag Ospidéal Cedars-Sinai I Beverly Hills. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Hulk Hogan I Meiriceá I 1953 agus rugadh aisteoir Alyson Stoner I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1993 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sí. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 11th of August, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1979: A 17 year old was remanded in custody at a special court in Limerick charged with breaking and entering and intent to set fire to the dwelling. 1989: Housewives were warned that microwave ovens do not kill harmful bacteria and should not be used to cook raw food. 1979: Several youths were arrested on charges arriving from a disturbance at Kilkee. 1995: Clare's Senior hurlers participated in an All Ireland semi-final for the first time in 63 years and won, beating Galway. That was The Boomtown Rats with I Don't Like Mondays – the biggest song on this day in 1979 Onto music news on this day In 1969 350 special guests were invited to see Motown Records new signings The Jackson Five play at The Daisy Club in Beverly Hills, California. 2000 Madonna gave birth to a baby boy Rocco Ritchie at The Cedars-Sinai Hospital Beverly Hills.

Up for the MatchOff on Sunday morning to Croke Park. Dark skies. Lots of grey clouds. Our journey was delayed by Féile An Phobail's 5km and 10km run. Diverted and distracted we eventually got out of West Belfast and on the road to Dublin. Enroute the dark skies lightened. The grey clouds gave way to blue heavens and gentle sunshine. We were off to watch Antrim's Lady Footballers in our own All Ireland against Louth. As we crossed the Border KneeCap kept our spirits high. Their ceol blasted out and the car rocked as we hip hopped to the Capital. A morning after the night before follow-on from Saturday evening's Falls Park Country frolicks.The match in Croker started off positively with Antrim taking an early lead but Louth soon asserted themselves and Antrim was chasing the game from then until the last ten minutes. Some of the players may have been overwhelmed by the big occasion.  If so who could blame them? To play in Croke is mighty and Antrim supporters were out in strength. Everyone, including us, as proud as could be.  Family members, club mates. The number of Northern Gaels was swelled by Tyrone supporters who later went on to win their championship against Laois. Dublin went on to best Meath in the Seniors. A great day of Gaelic football.Gaza – An Gorta Mór – The StarvationThe scenes of desperation as starving people in Gaza try to get basins or pots filled with soup, are shocking images. It is a famine we are told. Last week the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a United Nations panel which had long warned of the threat of famine, concluded that it was now a reality.The use of the word ‘famine' and the images of starving children are a reminder for many in Ireland of what life must have been like during An Gorta Mór in the 1840s. But it is important to note that in a famine there is no food. In Ireland there was plenty of food. During those years the quaysides of ports along our coast were lined each day with abundant produce - all bound for export. It was a starvation.The hunger in Gaza is an Israeli made starvation. Aid agencies and the UN have more than enough food and medical aid ready to enter Gaza. Israel prevents this. It is not a famine – it is a starvationOrangism in the New IrelandThe northern statelet was built for unionism. It was constructed and then managed in a way to ensure that nationalists would never have a say in running the place.We are less than three years off the 30th anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement. Most citizens, and many within the broad unionist section of our people, have grown accustomed to the stability and peace it has brought but there are others who still hanker after the old days of supremacy. The DUP shares the office of the First Minister with Sinn Féin but their strategy is focused on the next Assembly election in two years' time and their aim is to remove Michelle O'Neill as First Minister. That is why there is a battle a day over Irish language rights. That is why there has been no start on building the new Casement. That is why there is negative nonsense over bi-lingual signage in public places.

Why will Croke Park not be sold out this weekend for the All-Ireland camogie finals More parents are concerned about the cost of children returning to school. What's it like to find love again or later in life? Some listeners let us know.

Ellen Coyne and Pat Leahy join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· With Independent TD Catherine Connolly and former MEP Mairead McGuinness having declared their candidacy, there will now be at least two names in the race for the Áras. But with no sign yet of a clear candidate for Fianna Fáil or Sinn Féin, are any of the potential names currently being discussed likely to gain party support? · Fianna Fáil's Niall Collins would be 'very uncomfortable' with a one-size-fits-all approach to a blanket VAT cut for the hospitality sector, given that luxury and five-star hotels would benefit from a measure they don't necessarily need. Some Fine Gael Ministers are unhappy with Mr Collins for criticising a policy that would help support entry-level jobs in rural Ireland. · And as the humanitarian crisis deepens in Gaza, urgency around the Occupied Territories Bill increases. The inclusion of services is still the big question given the huge potential knock-on effects for some businesses here. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· A new exhibition exploring the legacy of the Magdalene Laundries, fifty years since the release of Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, and Joe Canning's take on Tipperary's triumph in the All-Ireland hurling final against Cork.

Welcome to part 2 of Football's Road To Croke Park. We've reached mid-May, when 32 teams have been whittled down to 16 and it's time for the All Ireland group phase.

Cormac McQuinn and Jack Horgan-Jones join Pat Leahy to look back on the week in politics: · The latest Irish Times/Ipsos B&A opinion poll shows Sinn Féin on 22 per cent (down four), with Fianna Fáil on 22 per cent (no change) and Fine Gael on 17 per cent (up one). Given just 14% of voters feel Government is successfully tackling the country's problems, do Sinn Féin need to find a new strategy in order to stimulate support? · One of the most notable findings of the poll is the clear growth potential around the Independents (up five) and new conservative parties like Aontú. · The poll also shows that support for the Occupied Territories Bill is softening with voters as just one-fifth of voters (20 per cent) say the Bill should be passed quickly, with a further 14 per cent saying its scope should be expanded and it should be passed quickly. The Bill, which would ban trade in goods with the occupied Palestinian territories, is due before the Dáil in the autumn. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· The plans to lower the UK voting age to 16, the Epstein Files present a new crisis for Donald Trump, and can Tipperary triumph in the All-Ireland hurling final against Cork?
