" Dr Ralph, did you take the Covid vaccine yourself?" "Dr Ralph, did your daughters take the Covid Vaccine?" I attended the Irish Medical Council Hearing yesterday, and I was never more disgusted in all my life at the treatment of a colleague by an official institution. Whilst under oath before the Committee, in a most intimidating Public forum, Dr Ralph was accused by the Prosecution of 'having taken the Covid Vaccine himself!' The Prosecution then insisted that Dr Ralph's 'daughters had taken the Covid vaccine themselves!' I have never in all my life encountered a situation where a presumably innocent Physician with an unblemished clinical record of thirty years of Practice is compelled under oath to disclose his own private medical history and that of his family to both the Irish Medical Council and the General Public! Irish MEP Michael McNamara has already described this case as an "Inquisition" It is worse - or at the very least it is no different. No Physician should have to endure this type of treatment. No citizen should have to endure this type of treatment by a Government institution. Dr Ralph's children should be of NO concern to the Irish Medical Council. Dr Ralph's practice of Medicine is not at issue before the Medical Council; nor is there a single complaint by a single patient or a single member of the public, before the Medical Council. Nor is Dr Ralph being accused of a single instance of causing harm to a single patient or a single member of the public. I am deeply ashamed of my Profession for not standing up for our colleague. I am deeply ashamed of my country for allowing this to happen, and I fear for a society where this abuse of justice has effectively become the "new normal" we were promised several years ago. There is something terrible going on in our country, as there is something terrible happening to a kind, competent and principled Doctor; a man of integrity - one of the finest General Practitioners I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. As a Physician, as a General Practitioner of many years service to the health and welfare of my community. - I do not know which is a worse fate for a Doctor who has devoted his life to the service of his Patients: To be deprived of one's reputation and one's dignity? Or to be deprived of life itself?

Leo Varadkar, the former Prime Minister of Ireland, slunk out of office under a veil of murky, unexplained circumstances.. and make no mistake, he was an unmitigated disaster, quite possibly the single worst affliction ever inflicted upon the Irish nation. A poster boy for smug, sanctimonious woke ideology, he spent his time in power relentlessly ramming through his rotten, self-serving corrupt agenda, leaving the country fractured, demoralised and diminished.
