The Government and the opposition have clashed in the Dail over University Hospital Limerick. It comes as scheduled surgeries at five hospitals run by the UL Hospitals Group aren't going ahead once again today, as the Dooradoyle facility remains in its highest state of escalation. 99 people were waiting for a bed at University Hospital Limerick this morning, according to figures from the Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, in a week in which numbers rose above 140. In the Dáil, Sinn Fein Leader Mary Lou McDonald accused the Government of being delusional on its record when it comes to dealing with hospital overcrowding. Minister for Enterprise Simon Coveney has rejected Sinn Fein criticism, however, in relation to hospital overcrowding at UHL. A Clare general practicioner, meanwhile, is dismissing suggestions that reopening Ennis's A&E is the answer to overcrowding at the facility. Lahinch GP, Dr Michael Kelleher has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons that although the emergency department at the region's main hospital is completely overburdened, having an accident and emergency unit in Ennis would be unsafe and difficult to staff.

A Lahinch GP believes medical professions in Ireland are not attractive enough to keep students from emigrating. It comes as Mininster Simon Harris has announced a new scheme that will see Irish student doctors subsidised to study in Northern Ireland if they commit to a career in the HSE. UK students pay up to €10,724 a year in tuition fees for medical universities but the new arrangement would see Irish students paying €3,000 while the rest of the fee is covered by the State. IMO GP Committee Member, Dr Michael Kelleher, welcomes the new education subsidies but fears that emigration will still entice many of these students away from Ireland.

A Lahinch GP believes even increased numbers of general practicioners will struggle to deal with Irelands's growing population. It comes after over 1,300 people applied to train as family Doctors in 2023, the highest number ever, while the number of places has been increased by 20 per cent on last year. Currently, however, there are 2,000 fewer GPs than the country needs and it will take at least four years before these new applicants can join the workforce. IMO GP Committee Member, Dr Michael Kelleher, says maintaining GP numbers required to meet the needs of the growing Irish population will be difficult.

Dominique Morisseau joins Windham-Campbell Prizes director Michael Kelleher to talk about the still-resonant power of Pearl Cleage's What Looks Like Crazy on an Ordinary Day, representing Black men on the page and onstage, the AIDS epidemic and COVID, and why the writers of Family Guy seem to hate Meg. Reading List: Idlewild, Michigan for colored girls... by Ntozake Shange The Color Purple by Alice Walker Family Guy (1999-present) Flyin' West and Other Plays by Pearl Cleage For a full episode transcript, click here. Dominique Morisseau has established herself as not only one of America's preeminent dramatists but as a visionary force in the field of theater across the globe. Her body of work, including the hugely ambitious and critically acclaimed three-play cycle The Detroit Project (Skeleton Crew [2016], Paradise Blue [2015], and Detroit '67 [2013]), is both deeply poetic and sharply philosophical, drawing upon the rich histories of Black American literature, music, and activism to create unflinching—and wildly entertaining—dramatic experiences. In the Detroit Project plays, as well as in standalone works like Confederates (2022), Pipeline (2017), and Blood at the Root (2014), Morisseau dramatizes the entanglement of art and politics with care, sophistication, and a fervent conviction. Morisseau also has made an impact as a leader in her artistic communities. Countless young writers name Morisseau as a key influence, and her perspectives on community-building, inclusion, and transparency have changed the culture of theater-making for the better. Her many accolades include, most recently, a Drama Desk Award (2019), a MacArthur Fellowship (2018), two Obie Awards (2018, 2016), and a Steinberg Playwright Award (2015).

Alexis Pauline Gumbs joins Windham-Campbell Prizes director Michael Kelleher to talk about the beauty of Audre Lorde's poetry and why more people should know her as a poet as well as an essayist. READING LIST: The Black Unicorn by Audre Lorde Sister Outsider by Audre Lorde The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvoir Broadside Press "A Supermarket in California!" by Allen Ginsberg For a full episode transcript, click here. Born in Summit, New Jersey in 1982, Alexis Pauline Gumbs is an activist, critic, poet, scholar, and educator. A self-described “Queer Black Troublemaker and Black Feminist Love Evangelist,” Gumbs uses hybrid forms to re-envision old narratives and engage with the history of Black intellectual-imaginative work. Her four books of prose-poetry include Dub: Finding Ceremony (2020), Undrowned (2020), M Archive (2018), and Spill: Scenes of Black Feminist Fugitivity (2016). Dub, M Archive, and Spill form a kind of triptych, each engaging with the work of a Black woman theorist: Sylvia Wynter in Dub; M. Jacqui Alexander in M Archive; and Hortense Spillers in Spill. In all her work, Gumbs raises the stakes of literature within and beyond the page. She is a people's poet, awake to the form's capacity to imagine alternative worlds, across and through time. Her worldview is capacious and paradigm-shifting, speaking to urgent realities with exuberant love, and inviting activists, artists, and readers alike to join in her participatory presentations. A graduate of Barnard College and Duke University, Gumbs is also the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship (2022), a Whiting Award (2022), and a National Humanities Center Fellowship (2020). She lives in Durham, North Carolina, and is currently at work on a biography of Audre Lorde.

The Chief of the HSE is asking the public to ‘bear with’ the organisation as they work out the logistics of the changes to the vaccine roll-out plan. On Wednesday evening, Taoiseach Micheál Martin confirmed that the decision had been taken not to administer the Astrazeneca to anyone aged 70 or over due to a lack of data about its efficacy for this age group. This has scuppered plans for Oxford vaccine to be administered by GP’s to the older population from next week. Over 219 thousand people have received at least one dose of either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine so far - with around 8 thousand doses administered each day over the last week. Locations where multiple GPs can vaccinate over 70s are being looked at - as the Pfizer and Moderna jabs are more difficult to store. But, by how much will this change delay the vaccine roll-out? Pat was joined on the line by Dr Michael Kelleher, Lahinch GP and IMO GP Committee member.

GP consultations with patients about sleep problems can go in several directions – could they be a symptom of depression? Financial worries? Sleep apnoea?
