If I claim I am stressed by being accused of a crime, do the police drop
all charges?  If not, why is ``being the subject of a discipline case is

The public sector has to explain why its staff are about four times
sicker than those in the private sector.  Perhaps the HSE should
investigate the systems of work which cause all this illness?
