"Catherine Connolly spent much of her day at Leinster House highlighting the plight of residential institution victims who are now entering the 12th day of a hunger strike outside its gates. Four people have felt they "have no choice but to go on hunger strike," she said, as they seek an HAA card, named after a past Health (Amendment) Act. The card provides access to a wide range of free healthcare services, including GP visits, hospital services, prescribed medicines, among access to many other services."

Residential institution victims are entering the 12th day of a hunger strike outside the gates of Leinster House. Four individuals have stated they felt they had no choice but to begin the hunger strike as they seek an HAA card under the past Health (Amendment) Act. The HAA card provides access to a wide range of free healthcare services, including GP visits, hospital care, and prescribed medicines. The card also grants access to many other health-related services. The hunger strike continues amid ongoing demands for formal recognition and access to these entitlements.
