Mary Harney finally said goodbye to Dublin Mid West and the Department of Health. For the vast majority of people she has been a disaster for the health service in Ireland.

She has made the entity of the HSE a corporate pseudo health board. She has overseen the two tier health service that was nearer to Boston than Berlin.

It’s the biggest scandal of them all that people still have to wait two years to see a occupational therapist for their child, while she leaves with over €300,000 as a pension. It’s sick.
