Anger is growing across Ireland as citizens question government priorities after funding for pharmacy blister packs for elderly and vulnerable patients was cut, while millions were committed to foreign aid.
Blister packs are a vital healthcare support for elderly people, those with dementia, and patients on complex medication regimes. Families, carers, and emergency services have warned that removing this support puts lives at risk and undermines independent living.
In this video, we examine comments from Irish citizens, a powerful Dáil speech by Independent Ireland TD Ken O’Flynn, and the wider public backlash over rising costs, healthcare pressures, and decisions many feel are being made without regard for ordinary Irish people.
This is not about politics alone. It is about priorities, accountability, and trust.
