DĂŠise Boy

HOSPITAL CRISIS

2XU PDQ LV RQ WKH EDOO

*DPEOLQJ ZLWK RXU OLYHV MXVW WR VDYH D IHZ TXLG SO now we know just how little they think of us.

Now, DĂŠise Boy usually tries to avoid the whole ‘them and us’ thing, it’s been a well worn cliche among the many curmudgeons in this city for as long as I can remember.

But how else can you be expected to feel following the extraordinary revelation this week that one of the main reasons for not having 24hour cardiac care in the South East is because it could take after-hour ‘business’ from hospitals in Dublin and Cork?

This emerged in high level talks to form a new government involving our own Independent TD John Halligan, who was effectively treated with contempt

by Health Minister Leo Varadkar and his party during negotiations aimed at securing his support to prop up a new government.

Well lads, I think ye may have to work on your chat up lines, because if this your way of making friends it’ll be a long time before you’ll be able to cobble any sort of administration together.

The lack of 24-hour cardiac care at University Hospital Waterford (UHW) was one of the key local issues in the February election.

And for a very good reason.

Because at the moment, if you or I suffer a heart attack after 5pm tomorrow (Friday), there is no consultant available at UHW to treat us.

Instead, you will be taken by ambulance to Cork or Dublin, and just keep your ďŹ ngers crossed that it won’t

be too late.

Waterford is the only city in the country without 24hour cardiac care, but we’ve never really been given a good explanation as to why this is the case.

But now, ďŹ nally, the mask has slipped.

During Minister Varadkar’s meeting with Deputy Halligan, Leo wheeled out some senior Health Service Executive officials to try and explain some of the reasons why Waterford should not be given a 24/7 facility.

Firstly, according to Deputy Halligan, the HSE geniuses had the ďŹ gures for every designated cardiac unit in the country - except Waterford. Sound ďŹ shy? They then followed this alarming oversight by saying the ďŹ gures aren’t that important anyway, because they would have to examined in the context of how a 24/7 service in Waterford would impact on the number of cases being referred to Cork and Dublin.

And because the patient follows the money, the bean counters at the HSE are concerned that these hospitals would lose money if Waterford was given proper cardiac facilities.

So, in a nutshell, they are willing to gamble on our lives in order to save a few quid

elsewhere. e It’s fairly mindboggling stuff, m but b at least now we w know where we stand.

Pretty much on s our o own.

Deputy Halligan (pictured left) made ( this t issue a key election commitment, e and a this week he vowed he would not v do d a deal with Fine Gael or Fianna Fail as they seek to secure the support of Independents unless 24-hour cardiac care is “guaranteed, budgeted for and delivered�.

The deputy’s hardline stance is commendable, and we can only hope he holds ďŹ rm in his resolve.

Because this is the only language the likes of Fine Gael and Fianna Fail seem to understand.

How many times have we been fobbed off with pre-election promises on job creation (the South East still lags behind the rest of the country), university status (nope) and proper health services (see above)?

It’s a sad state of affairs indeed that they are only willing to discuss the issue now because they need to do a few dirty little deals to get into power, but I suppose we shouldn’t be too surprised.

DĂŠise Boy normally hates the sort of ‘auction politics’ that often holds the country to ransom but, as Deputy Halligan stated himself, this is literally now a matter of life and death for the people of Waterford and the South East.

And another thing . . .

Father ‘abused young Towering crystal tribute son with a hot poker’ in local house of horrors Court hears shocking abuse allegations SHOCKING allegations of horrific abuse of a young Waterford boy were heard in court this week.

His father is accused of forcing his young son to have sex with his mother before showing a video tape of it to others.

The now 12-year-old child also told a Central Criminal Court jury that his father raped him and regularly sexually abused him with a hot poker in their Waterford home, as well as holding a gun to his head and threatening to kill him if he told anyone.

He said he believed he was raped about once a month during a three-and-a-half year period from when he was aged six years old.

His parents face a total of 82 charges of abuse between 2007 and 2011 in Waterford. The father and mother have pleaded not guilty to 16 counts each of sexual exploitation and one charge each of child cruelty.

The mother has also denied 16 counts of sexual assault while

the father denies 16 counts of anal rape and 16 counts of sexual assault with a poker.

The child was giving evidence via video-link and with the help of a intermediary who explained questions to him. This is the first time an intermediary has been used in an Irish court.

“He’d hit me, he'd rape me, he'd force me to do a lot of stuff that I didn't want to do,” the boy said, referring to his father.

He said three or four times a week his father would take a fire poker and “he would put it up me and put it on me and burn me and it would hurt”.

He said he would sometimes be left bleeding afterwards. The poker was a little bit like a hot shower; “not terribly hot but warm enough to still burn you”, he said.

His father owned knifes, a sword and "50 guns and 50 bullets" the child said. He said he would threaten him using these.

It was alleged the father also

made the boy watch videos of naked men, women and children “having sex”.

The child said his father “always forced us to have sex, me and my mum. He would threaten us, basically if you don't do this, I will kill you.”

He said the first time this happened the father “demonstrated” by having sex with the woman before telling the child to do it. Sometimes he would stay to watch and sometimes he would go to the pub to get drunk, the child said. He said his mother said she didn't want to do this.

The boy also alleged that his father would video tape his rape of the child and the incidents with his mother.

The witness said he went into school one day and told he was going to someone else's house.

“From that day on I was in foster care.”

The parents deny the charges.

The trial continues with the boy's evidence before Mr Justice Eagar and a jury.

Waterford house prices soar higher than in any other city

But ‘rebound’ in apartment sales behind 18pc spike HOUSE prices in Waterford soared higher than in any other Irish city in the first three months on the year.

New figures reveal house prices in the city rose by a whopping 18pc in the first quarter of 2016 when compared to the same period last year.

Prices in the capital appear to have stablised, with only marginal increases recorded in the latest report by the property website Daft.ie.

There were much larger increases in our other cities.

When compared to the first three months of last year, house prices in Cork jumped by 14.9pc in the first quarter of this year.

Prices in Galway rose by 14pc within the same period, and by 6.6pc in Limerick.

But nowhere was the increase bigger than in Waterford, where the average price of a home in the city now stands at €134,945.

Regina Mangan, the managing director of Waterford’s Liberty Blue Estate Agents, said the 18pc

figure recorded in the city was largely due to a huge rebound in the prices of apartments, which plummeted during the crash.

She quoted the example of one apartment in the James’ Gate area of the city that would have fetched just €30,000 12 months ago, but is now selling up for €55,000 - a massive 80pc jump.

Ms Mangan told the Waterford Mail: “It’s quite a mixed bag. The figures are skewed because apartments are a very big contributor to the increase. Overall, I would say it is accurate that the prices of houses in the city have risen by around 10pc.”

She also predicted the shortage of much-sought after homes in areas such as the Dunmore Road would result in further price increaes over the coming months.

“What will happen is that as you look at the Dunmore Road, which is high on demand but where the stock level is very low, house prices will continue to rise,” Ms Mangan added.

PROPERTY MATTERS &250$& )((1(<

How new government can ease housing crisis THE shortage of houses locally and nationally is at a level I’ve seen before. When I started out as a letting agent with Bookaroom over 10 years ago there were over 55,000 properties advertised for rent in Ireland on Daft. Waterford was being developed; the Railway Square apartment complex had just been completed, providing an additional 111 modern two and three bedroom apartments for professionals and students in the city centre.

During the Celtic Tiger era between 75,000 and 93,000 properties were being built every year.

Fast forward 10 years and there are now just under 3,500 properties advertised for rent on Daft - just 6.3pc of what was available in 2006. In Waterford there are only 85 properties currently advertised, and 28 of these are student houses. There are just nine family homes currently available for rent in the whole city!

So what has gone wrong?

During the recession the housing market stagnated; no one could afford to sell at the new low prices. There was zero movement in the market. Any developers who hadn’t been wiped out by buying land at hugely inflated prices during the boom could no longer

compete with the sale prices of distressed properties.

So where do we go from here, and what needs to be done?

The obvious answer is simply to build, but what incentive is there to do so? There’s a huge demand for targeted affordable housing for sale and rent, but there is no incentive for developers to build these units.

In the past, Section 23 and Section 50 apartments helped to develop Waterford, and a similar tax incentivised scheme is now required to stimulate the market.

The new government will have to confront an unprecedented housing and homeless crisis.

We need a dedicated Minister for Housing and the next government must also take a central role in the construction of social housing, and should be talking to Nama to make this a reality.

There is plenty of development land available and this should be used for the needs of the country rather than profit. We also have the power to rezone land in areas in which housing is needed.

The plan should be simple; assess the country’s needs, source the land, incentivise the builder and build the homes we so desperately need. *Cormac Feeney is an auctioneer wirth Liberty Blue Estate Agents

Maynooth University In September 2015 the third group of First Arts students started at Kilkenny Campus.

Just under ninety students have been studying the first year of the Maynooth University Bachelor of Arts degree in Kilkenny (CAO Number MH901). After spending a year living and learning in Kilkenny the students are getting ready to transfer to the main Campus in Maynooth for years two and three.

Many students from the local area find the financial benefits of living at home for their first year of college very attractive. For students from other parts of the country the opportunity to have the first year of their University experience in the vibrant city of Kilkenny has been very popular and has also brought revenue in to the city as many students lodge with local families. St. Kieranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college, where the Kilkenny Campus is located has made student accommodation available for students, adding to the appeal of Kilkenny as a great introduction to University life for a whole range of reasons.

Students past and present have been very positive about their experience in Kilkenny and have transitioned very well into their second year on the main Maynooth Campus. Their performance in exams and assignments was on a par with their counterparts on the main Campus and they benefitted greatly from the smaller class sizes; student focused learning environment and the vibrant campus community.

They themselves have commented that: â&#x20AC;&#x153; we are eased into college life in a friendly environment and we get to know everyone really wellâ&#x20AC;?, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Smaller classes are better, the lecturers know your nameâ&#x20AC;?

This full time programme which has attracted Leaving Certificate and Mature Students alike offers the option of studying up to four subjects out of a choice of nine. Some of the most popular subjects from the main Campus are on offer including English, History, Sociology, Philosophy, Anthropology, and Economics and in 2016 Law will be available for the first time which offers students a route in to the legal profession.

Marie Cummins, Fundraising Manager, Waterford Hospice is pictured receiving a cheque from Melanie Coughlan for â&#x201A;Ź800 outside the Waterford Hospice office at University Hospital Waterford.

Also included were Esther Waters, Peg Tebay and Patricia Browne. the money was raised by the Sacred Heart Active Retirement group who organised a Bowling Competition with 16 teams from all over the South-East taking part for the Gerry Coughlan Perpetual Trophy.

The competition which took place in the Butler Community Centre will hopefully become an annual fundraising event.

Album of the week

Changes by Charles Bradley Charles Bradley, the subject of a 2012 documentary, is a soul man with a storied past, not least his long stint as a James Brown impersonator. Here, on his third album since emerging as an artist in his own right, Bradley evokes a kind of weary, vintage warmth as he tackles heartbreak in the company of the Daptone Horns, and blanches at the state of the world on the unexpectedly dubby Change for the World. Most notable of all is a cover of Black Sabbathâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Changes, teasing out the blues-metal bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heretofore unnoticed soul bent.

UP THE DÉISE

Waterford Mail 14 APRIL 2016

Businesses back Waterford’s WATERFORD'S businesses have sent their very best wishes to the Waterford hurling team as they prepare for their semi-final showdown with Limerick in Thurles on Sunday. Some of the city's top pubs, roofing and flooring firms and hair salons all joined forces to get behind the Déise as they look to secure their second Allianz Senior Hurling League title in a row. Waterford boss Derek McGrath has confirmed his talented young squad are injury free as they prepare to do battle with the Treaty-men. And the legion of Déise fans who will descend on Thurles this weekend will hope their heroes are firing on all cylinders as they seek to overcome the last obstacle in the way of another final appearance. C'MON THE DÉISE!

Given that last week’s New Moon was in your sign it really might be time to think all about you! From giving thought to how you look after yourself, to which relationships bring most pleasure and where you want to be this time next year, making a plan should suit you well. It’s true that Mars turns retrograde (in another Fire sign) next week and that progress could then be hampered by events beyond your control.

The part of you that ‘does’ strategy should be working well midweek. The question is ‘why’? and who might prompt this action. It’s quite possible that a colleague sees an opportunity and is keen for this to be seized - and before the middle of the month. Of course they might not be aware of either the history of a situation or the practicalities that first need to be addressed.

Early next week, Mars appears to stand still in your opposite sign. This week it seems to be slowing down. You may get the sense that a partner or close associate might also be about to backtrack. Much as you might enjoy being with those who are dynamic and willing to join you on a journey, you might also know that as of next week very different energies will require attention Thursday’s First Quarter Moon is in your sign. This may be the optimum moment to think back to your birthday last year and the hopes and dreams of that period. It may be that it’s not too late to rescue one or two of these. Indeed, a series of promising aspects points to the strong possibility of moving forward with plans that for many reasons have been on hold.

If at all possible,‘hold your horses’.Tempting as it may be to race off, Mars turns retrograde in the early part of next week: if you were a rider, this would be similar to going from good ground to soft.

In short, the pace is going to change. If you don’t start too fast negotiating that change in tempo should be easier. It might be as well to listen to the very good counsel of someone who is a natural leader and who has experience you can draw on.

For many signs, it’s sure to be all systems go this week.You are unlikely to be an exception. However, it might be as well to bear in mind that as of next week Mars, which is presently travelling across the base of your solar chart, turns retrograde.This week’s fast pace is unlikely to continue. Of course, it’s entirely possible that those around you are anxious to get on with something. They may feel to be at the cutting edge and that it’s imperative to take action now.

For so many reasons you could be hyped-up this week. It may be that plans that have been incubating for some years are now set in motion. There might also be an air of urgency and chaos around. True, at one level you could thrive on the fact that progress is at last being made. Even so, it would be wise not to underestimate the effect any disharmony could have on you.

For a variety of reasons, the actual pace of life could seem very fast. It might also feel fractionally uncomfortable. Yet at the weekend both Mars and Pluto (your ruling planets) both come to stations prior to beginning retrograde periods. This suggests a distinct change of pace from the weekend. True, you might not feel particularly at ease until early May, yet you might also agree that distinct if slow progress is being made.

Next weekend Mars stations in your sign. This is highly unusual. Not for a moment does it suggest that you too will stand still, but it is likely to mark significant development in your life journey. Those involved in any kind of major refurbishment should find this a positive time. It may be that what’s uncovered provides more opportunity even if it also increases expense.

It’s very likely that as both Mars and Pluto arrive at stations next weekend, you will feel the need to draw a line in the sand. It may be that a plan is simply unachievable in the given timescale. It might be as well to anticipate others being in a highly charged emotional state between Tuesday and Thursday. A strong possibility is that they’ve taken on more than is actually achievable.

The pace this week could be frantic. You might also know that whatever it is that you’re involved in has been long anticipated by someone who feels comfortable that you are on their side. Working partnerships develop quite naturally and easily. That is, until the First Quarter Moon on Thursday. It’s at that point that you might realise that someone is far more emotional about developments than they have so far indicated.

Next weekend, Mars stations at the apex of your solar chart. This is unusual and suggests you may have arrived at a vantage point career-wise. Taking stock, and then preparing for a move later in the year may be advisable. It could be that a creative idea you’ve been incubating since at least July of last year, is given momentum. A further possibility, is that someone born under either your own sign, or Jupiter ruled Sagittarius, will ask if you’re prepared to work with them.
