The Blindboy Podcast · Have you anything to say about the Fuel protests Blindboy? Or are you a Government shill who is worried about losing his next Late Late show appearance? · 15 Apr 2026 podcast

I would dread getting into an accident and having to go to the hospital in Limerick.

I would dread it for me or for my kids.

I would hate for that to happen because I have zero confidence in receiving adequate, dignified, comfortable health care.

based on evidence that social contract has broken down.

But luckily, a new big massive private hospital has been built in Limerick City.

And lo and behold, what was announced?

The government is seeking private hospital capacity to address the Limerick overcrowding crisis.

So that private hospital is going to charge private hospital rates.

But to the government, another vital public service, healthcare, is being handed to the private market for profit.

So I live in a city where I see emerging shanty towns.

I don't mean to be disrespectful when I say that, but that's the word that we have.

All right, little semi-permanent settlements of tents, which I've never seen before in my life.

See that, I see a hospital I hope I never have to visit because I have zero faith in being safe there.

news reports of very sick people laying in trolleys there and inquests into deaths of young women who tried to access health care in a society where we're supposed to have access to health care.

So we're all seeing that and when you see that then you're not seeing evidence of a social net.

The social net is part of the social contract, right?

It's a broad agreement that citizens in a society accept state authority

right police being taxed the laws in exchange for the social safety net that if you are unemployed and these need housing that that housing will be employed for you if you get sick health care will be provided for you and if you lose your job social welfare will be provided for you that there is the the social net and it's part of the social contract

We no longer see evidence of the social net and there's consistent housing protests for the past 15 years.

Peaceful housing protests and nothing gets done.
