  1. Susie has inspired a nation, her courageous actions will not be forgotten.

    She asked did she make a difference? the people of Ireland have unanimously have pondered and decided, the answer is a resounding YES

  2. It’s an absolute disgrace. This country’s government and health system is pathethic. We are a country which runs on greed and inequality. Why are we immating the American healthcare model as opposed to the German model? Why is there large investments in building private hospitals which increases inequalities and prices ordinary people out accessing healthcare?
    I cannot understand why a population of about 4 million cannot organise an efficient healthcare system. We are supposedly one of the richest countries in the world (per capita) with a tiny population that cannot provide healthcare to the most vulnerable in society. Ridiculous!
    Money is being wasted on consultants, admin staff and private investment while people like Susie (RIP) are being ignored. Is profit and wealth more important than life? We pay health insurance to get seen faster. Money talks in this country! Is that the attitude of the government which runs this country? No excuse!

  3. WHAT ABOUT THE HYPOCRATIC OATH,I STUPIDLY THOUGHT THAT NEEDY PEOPLE WOULD BE LOOKED AFTER REGARDLESS OF THEIR INCOME!WHY ARE WE PAYING INTO A SYSTEM THAT IS NOT DELIVERING!R.I.P. SUSIE ,AT LEAST U TRIED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

  4. Susie and I met when we were 7 yrs old. We went to school together and became best friends. As adults, she moved to her wonderful Ireland and we kept in touch for the most part. My husband died of cancer and Susie and her two beautiful children came back to Ohio and visited me. I saw her every time she was here for a visit. I moved a few years back to Colorado and lost touch with her. A friend of mine had said they heard she was ill and I searched the internet for the hospital she may have been in as I no longer had her phone number. It was on that Friday, that horrible Friday, that I found out. The day she passed was the day I so desperately looked to find her. I am so full of regret. I am so very proud of her fight. I am so angry with what she had to go through. I am a nurse of 20 years and I can only honor my childhood best friend by hoping to know her friends, her colleagues, her family better than I was able in previous years. Please, anyone who knew her, please email me with anything you’d like to share and please pass this on as I wouls love to hear stories of my dear friend and I am ever so longing to share mine. My email is el65usa@yahoo.com
    Thank you so much, Laura
