Brendan Gleeson recounts his experience with the Irish health service, which he described as 'catastrophic' during a 2006 interview about his mother-in-law's treatment at Beaumont Hospital. He expressed his frustration with profit incentives in elder care and criticized political figures like Taoiseach Micheál Martin for their contributions to the declining health system. While he initially felt justified in his outrage, Gleeson now believes a more constructive approach to discussing these issues is necessary, emphasizing a glass-half-full perspective on healthcare reform.
"There were people trying to fight for life and cling on to hope beside people who were dead...when he screwed the place from the time he went in until the time he left."
"The vociferous nature of it was fine, but I did find afterwards it became a thing then where everybody is screaming, shouting and enraged."
