'health' minister? Is she an Indo?

Yep, that's her.

Things looking up for Irish politics at last

Last of the PD Dinosaurs and the party dies (hopefully).

I can't take credit for this one, but it gave me a chuckle:

Mary Harney wanted to quit last week. Cowen put her on a waiting list.

Glad to see the back of this poisonous wench.

Harney sums up all that is wrong with politics.

13 years of being a minister. Can she list 5 achievements during this time?

Ruining the health service, getting a $400 haircut and riding in a car through New Zealand on St Patricks day like something that was let out for the weekend.

And now she will retire on 2 pensions and be appointed to some semi state board.

Pathetic, the only time she will ever do without is when McDonalds is shut.

Surely she is the best argument that ministers/politicians should only be allowed to serve for a max period.

Ahern, Dempsey and Killeen all officially gone now as well as Martin and Harney. That is 6 Cabinet seats to fill for Cowen.

The 4 lads and both of Harney's seats.

Grenns to go today as well i'd say. Gogarty is on Morning Ireland now, more or less saying no new appointments or they will plug the plug.
