An Córas Sláinte

Feictear domsa go bhfuil an córas slainte go hainnis sa tír seo

^{IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE HEALTH SYSTEM IS TERRIBLE IN THIS COUNTRY}

Tá an fhadhb chomh sean leis na cnoic; níl go leor airgid againn

^{THE PROBLEM IS AS OLD AS THE HILLS; WE DON’T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY}

Tá sé le feiceáil I ngach ospidéil

^{IT CAN BE SEEN IN EVERY HOSPITAL}

Bhí an taire ag rá go raibh deich mbilliún caite ag an roinn sláinte

^{THE MINSITER WAS SAYING THAT TEN MILLION HAS BEEN SPENT BY THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT}

Ach, poll dubh é an córas sláinte ina bhfuil an t-airgead ag imeacht

^{THE HEALTH STSTEM IS A BLACK HOLE IN WHICH THE MONEY IS DISSAPEARING}

 

Cuirtear othair ar throlaithe sna hospidéil

^{PATIENTS ARE PUT ON TROLLEYS IN HOSPITALS}

Táimid dúdhoite de

^{WE ARE SICK OF IT}

Fulaingíonn an chosmhuintir

^{THE ORDINARY PPL ARE SUFFERING}

Cuireann sé déistin orm

^{IT PUTS DIGUST IN ME}

Ach, an bhfuil socrú leis an bhfadhb?

^{BUT IS THERE A SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM?}

 

Is dóigh liom nach bhfuil an tír leigheasta

^{I DON’T THINK THE COUNTRY HAS BEEN HEALED}

Rinneadh a lán damáiste le linn an cúlú

^{A LOT OF DAMAGE WAS DONE DURING THE RECESSION}

Buíochas le Dia, tá an cúlú thart

^{THANK GOD, THE RECESSION IS FINISHED}

Ach, níl sprid ná púca gan fios a chúise

^{BUT THERE’S NO GHOST OR GOBLIN THAT DOESN’T KNOW IT’S REASON}

Is léir go bhfuil cúiseanna leis an bhfadhb, ach conas is féidir í a reiteach?

^{IT’S CLEAR THAT THERE ARE REASONS FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT HOW CAN IT BE SOLVED?}

Tá an córas sláinte ina raic

^{THE HEALTH SYSTEM IS IN CHAOS}

Ag dul in olcas atá sé, I mo thuairim

^{IT’S GETTING WORSE, IN MY OPINION}

Táim chomh cinnte is atá cros ar asal

^{I’M AS SURE AS THERE IS A CROSS ON A DONKEY}

Caithfear an córas a fheabhsú

^{THE SYSTEM MUST BE IMPROVED}

Ach, is furasta fuineadh in aice na mine

^{BUT IT’S EASY TO KNEAD BESIDE THE MILL}

 

Gan dabht, tuilleadh airgid a chaitheamh

^{WITHOUT DOUBHT, MORE MONEY NEEDS TO BE SPENT}

Chaith muid 6% den OTI an bhliain seo caite

^{WE SPENT 6% OF GDP LAST YEAR}

Bíonn na tíortha eile san Eoraip ag caitheamh idir 7% agus 8%

^{OTHER COUNTRIES IN EUROPE ARE SPENDING BETWEEN 7% AND 8%}

Ach, tá sé soiléir go bhfuil muintir na hÉireann sásta leis an scéal

^{BUT IT’S CLEAR THAT THE PEOPLE OF IRELAND ARE HAPPY WITH THE SITUATION}

Roghnaíonn siad na daoine céanna bliain i ndiaidh bliana!

^{THEY ELECT THE SAME PEOPLE YEAR AFTER YEAR}

 

Tá réiteach na ceiste seo chomh sleamhain le heascann

^{THE SOLUTION TO THIS QUESTION IS AS SLIPPERY AS AN EEL}

Deirtear gur fadhb dó-réitithe í

^{IT IS SAID THAT IT IS AN INSOLVABLE PROBLEM}

Ní dhóigh liom go bhfuil réiteach ann mar níl toil na ndaoine láidir go leor

^{I DON’T THINK THAT THERE’S A SOLUTION HERE BECAUSE THE WILL OF THE PPL IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH}

Cathain a bheidh sé críochnaithe?

^{WHEN WILL IT END?}

Ag Dia amháin atá a fhios!

^{ONLY GOD KNOWS!}
