== Birth Certificate of My Mother born in IRELAND ==
Is it true to say that most infrastructure is in private hands? I very much doubt this, but don't know of any figures that support or contradict it?


I need a copy of the birth certificate of my Mother Miss Mary Ellen Kearney, born 20th January 1916. When I applied for my first Irish Passport, I was told by Your Office, that she was born in a Workhouse in Dublin. Date of my passport was 10th February 2005. The only lady registered on this date was her Mother who was in the workhouse in Dublin. Therefore I do not have any birth details of my dear Mother who passed away on 23rd October 2007, in Kingston Hospital, Surrey, ENGLAND.

Socialised medicine? Given the restrictive criteria for a medical card and the extensive private system I'd be hard pressed to cite Ireland as an example of "socialised" medicine. Free at the point of delivery for all certainly does not apply. <small>—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/86.42.220.30|86.42.220.30]] ([[User talk:86.42.220.30|talk]]) 08:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)</small><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

=="socialized, universal, public health care system"==

Please bear in mind the reference must back the claim. One should not have to wear rose-tinted glasses or be on a high to believe the reference. References please, and quality ones at that! [[User:Djegan|Djegan]] ([[User talk:Djegan|talk]]) 22:54, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

:Well for one thing, to be any of those things doesn't ''mean'' they have to be free at the point of delivery; such as the NHS. Even countries such as [[Healthcare in Sweden|Sweden]] don't have "free" healthcare; just socialised.

Public = publicly funded [ie. by tax] - the health contribution comes out of income to fund the HSE.

Universal = everyone has the right to access the public health care system.

Socialisied = medical services available for free or at a discounted rate.

[http://www.hse.ie/eng/Find_a_Service/ This] confirms all of these;

''Ireland has a comprehensive government funded health service.''

''A person living in Ireland for at least one year is considered by the HSE to be 'ordinarily resident' and is entitled to either full eligibility (Category 1) or limited eligibility (Category 2), for health services.''

''either free of charge or at reduced cost''

Would this source [from the HSE itself] be adequate? [[User:Sulmac|Sulmac]] ([[User talk:Sulmac|talk]]) 18:04, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

::No. You must provide a reference that explicitly supports whats been claimed, otherwise the material maybe removed at any time. We do not need or want a lesson on how to use a dictionary. Nor do we need a series of external links that vaguely (in the most extreme sense of the word) backup what is been claimed. If the "reference" does not explicitly supports whats been claimed then its insufficient and maybe removed (along with the claim). Simple.

Birth Certificate of My Mother born in IRELAND

[edit]

I need a copy of the birth certificate of my Mother Miss Mary Ellen Kearney, born 20th January 1916. When I applied for my first Irish Passport, I was told by Your Office, that she was born in a Workhouse in Dublin. Date of my passport was 10th February 2005. The only lady registered on this date was her Mother who was in the workhouse in Dublin. Therefore I do not have any birth details of my dear Mother who passed away on 23rd October 2007, in Kingston Hospital, Surrey, ENGLAND. 2A02:C7C:A81B:DC00:B0A3:1591:38E2:E097 (talk) 14:31, 26 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
