Ireland is a remarkably dysfunctional country. But I'm a bit salty after being told I'd have to wait 9 months to find out if my daughter had cancer and that I just needed to "be patient with the system". Mind you, that was going private - public would have been even worse. But hey, sure it's grand, we've always done it this way. (She does not have cancer. We were able to determine this by going to Northern Ireland and availing of private consultations in the UK. But it's absurd that it was necessary to do this.) Of course, we have an agent looking for houses in Utrecht for us now, so maybe I'm just trading one dysfunctional state for another. At least one with better bike infra, though!
