Blimp Jump’s Ship!
January 19, 2011
It would seem that our (in)capable Minister for Health, Mary Harney T.D. has decided to jump ship like a number of other failures of T.D.’s, resigning from cabinet as she is not contesting her seat at the next General Election, expected in March. http://www.rte.ie/news/2011/0119/harneym.html
It’s constantly amazing to see these people retiring from politics after creating a huge, seemingly intractable economic situation in the country, leaving ordinary low income workers to bear the burden (a burden that most cannot manage) of repairing the damage done to our countries economy while Harney and others like her retire to a large and wholly undeserved pension; and it must be noted this pension is far in excess of what other larger, more economically affluent nation’s pay their retiring politicians.
All the best for the future Mary… please DO NOT consider going into the private sector, you’d do untold damage there too!
