Most people would like their condition managed by pain medication though almost three-quarters have not written any kind of care directive or given an indication of what they want to family members.

Sinn Féin said documents suggested James Reilly discussed the specific site earmarked for a Primary Care centre in Balbriggan during a meeting with NAMA.
Micheál Martin has said he believes the Health Minister’s position is now untenable in the wake of further revelations about primary care centre locations.
The Health Minister insisted that “no specific address was mentioned” in discussions with NAMA in April of this year regarding the controversial issue of locations for primary care centres.

An application for a €50 million annual building allocation for primary care centres will be made, says the Minister of State for Primary Care Róisin Shorthall.
DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL has revealed there was a significant rise in complaints relating to dog fouling in public parks and open spaces last year.
Earlier this week, the council launched a campaign to encourage dog owners and dog walkers to act responsibly and to pick up after their dog in response to the problem.
The council has suggested that the Covid-19 lockdown has seen an increase in the number of people walking their dogs, which has led to an increase in dog-related littering.
It’s likely that Dublin isn’t the only place affected. Today we want to know: Have you noticed more dog fouling since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic?
