Sir, - Someone once said: "The Irish have no sense of outrage." How true this is when we read of children waiting years for essential medical treatment, people bereft of dignity, lying on hospital corridors waiting for beds, the homeless sleeping rough on freezing winter nights and carers looking after their loved ones with little or no assistance from the Government - the cry being there isn't enough money.
