Support GP's threatened by Irish Medical Council

Support GP's threatened by Irish Medical Council

Dr Marcus de Brun is facing a Fitness to Practice hearing that could strip him of his medical license.

His crime? Telling the truth.

In April 2020, at the height of the Covid crisis, Dr de Brun resigned from the Irish Medical Council (IMC) in protest. He had witnessed the deadly consequences of a reckless policy: transferring untested hospital patients into nursing homes, putting the most vulnerable at grave risk.

Instead of being commended for speaking out, Dr de Brun was accused of “serious misconduct.” For four years, he has endured a relentless campaign simply for exposing policy failures that cost lives.

Recently, the IMC offered to drop the charges—if he agreed to stay silent.

He refused.

Dr de Brun made their offer public, risking everything to expose the truth.

This isn’t just about one doctor. It’s about whether medical professionals can speak freely without fear of professional ruin. If the IMC succeeds, it sends a terrifying message: challenge failed policies, and you’ll be destroyed.

Dr de Brun is a respected GP with decades of experience. He acted not to endanger lives, but to protect them—especially the elderly who suffered so deeply in nursing homes.

The IMC has chosen to target the whistleblower rather than confront its own role in one of the pandemic’s most devastating failures.

Now, as the Council prepares to decide his fate in Dublin’s Kingram House, we must raise our voices.

Stand with Dr de Brun.

Your signature could help stop an injustice and defend every doctor’s right to speak out in defence of life and truth.

With over 48,000 followers on X and growing grassroots support, public pressure can make a real impact. A surge of signatures can spark media attention, challenge the IMC’s narrative, and show that citizens demand accountability—not silence.

Sign the petition now. Defend Dr de Brun, defend free speech, and stand for truth in medicine.

Because when one brave voice is silenced, we all lose.

To the Irish Medical Council:


We call on you to cease the investigation process into respected GP Dr Marcus de Brun.


Dr de Brun resigned from your Council in April 2020, protesting dangerous Covid policies harming vulnerable nursing home residents.


Your policy transferred untested hospital patients to nursing homes, unwittingly spreading Covid with no treatment protocols for residents in place, other than End of Life care.

Now, after bravely exposing these devastating errors, Dr de Brun faces investigation and risks losing his medical licence.

We demand transparency, integrity, and fairness from your Committee—protect courageous doctors speaking the truth for patient safety.

Do the right thing—clear Dr de Brun of wrongdoing, acknowledge past policy harm, and restore trust in Irish medical leadership.
