Irish Minister for Health attacked by fellow politician with red paint over budget cuts

Racists like PlasticHead only make fools of themselves. I have no objection to giving them a megaphone--it lets the rest of us hear how stupid they are! Leaving that particular clown aside, I want to mention yet another case in the Irish news papers recently that shows the crimes committed by such as Harney and former Minister Martin. This refers to a poor young girl who had the horrifying experience of being a cystic fibrosis patient in an Irish hospital. Knowing how the filth of an Irish hospital would kill her, she screamed to her mother "Ma, they're killing me". The poor mother let herself be intimidated to ignore her daughter's wishes, and left her in the Irish hospital. "My instinct said to get her out of that hospital but the doctors tried to frighten me. Unfortunately I listened to those professionals--it was the biggest mistake of my life". Finally, the mother saw how stupid she had been to listen to these creeps and bums who masquerade as Health "service" in Ireland. She took her baby home, where the young girl died a few hours thereafter. That lousy Irish "health" system for the poor (it's really a Death System) is what posters like PlasticHead are defending--they disgust me.

Plastic Paddy is a low life. He unthinkingly throws the "racist" slur at someone because they don't support unlimited immigration into Ireland. Well, Plasic paddy, I don't support unlimited Immigration either, and neither do the vast majority of the Irish. That means we're all racists? And the Irish employers and rich who exploit foreign labor, they're by your insane definition anti-racists, because they support Mass Immigration? You're an utter moron. You shouldn't be allowed post this kind of hateful nonsense, you demean us all.

Well in fairness she is no longer a member of Sinn Fein so Hyattsville you are also slinging insults by calling all members of Sinn Fein thugs. I am a member and have never done anybody any harm. At the same time GeorgeDillon is a bigot and a racist pig and you are right in your comments about him.

Mr. Dillon the article clearly states that 'Cllr Minihan is a former member of Sinn Fein and is now part of the socialist republican party Eirigí.' Third paragraph. You are obnoxious and a bully. Pretty much every comment that you make involves roaring at someone. Please tell me you are not from Ireland, or at least not from Donegal!

hyattsville: Why are you bringing Sinn Fein into this? Just how uninformed and ignorant are you?

Whether you like her or not this really is no way to treat anyone. Fairly typical thug behaviour from Sinn Fein though. Oh and I believe the protest was at health cutbacks or ‘blood budget’ and not at hiring outside the ‘Irish race’ although it’s so nice to see that some of you will seize each and every opportunity to air your bigoted views whether relevant to the subject at hand or not. Hitler lives and regularly contributes to Irish Central!

It is a pity that only paint was thrown at this pig, Six out of Ten Medical Consultants (Specialists) in the Irish health system are from Third World countries. Several are presently under some type of suspension due to medical Mal-Practice causing death.

She was never a great advertisment for Health, but I am pleased to hear @antoman that her G-men are armed. Maybe now there's a good chance she'll be caught in the crossfire! Seriously,although the red scar-f suits her colouring,but it is a bit pathetic of another elected person to resort to this when she has an Official Voice. ................How was she released without charge? She should be getting an "Eirigi" of her own in The Mountjoy Hotel!

Mary Harney looks to be more African than Irish.

@Georgedildo..The Irish "system" is now run by "doctors" and "nurses" from places like Pakistan and Angola,..feckin'idiot

Perhaps the councilor should have hurled slimfast on her instead of paint.That said I think it was a stupid thing to do,even dangerous.Don't be fooled even for a second into thinking that her security are unarmed and won't hesitate to shoot.Protest,yes,but assaulting someone by throwing substances or objects is criminal.This is a trend I hope to see stop,otherwise someone will be injured or killed.

Most Irish people--indeed all I have ever spoken to--really hate this woman Harney. She has turned the Irish health "system" into a death-trap. In fact she is known as Minister for Death, not Minister for Health. The Irish "system" is now run by "doctors" and "nurses" from places like Pakistan and Angola, yet Irish graduates in medicine have to emigrate. Ireland is where "doctors" that have been exposed as frauds and charlatans in other European countries wind up, the stupid Irish give them jobs and then are surprised when patients start dying.

That is a bit harsh and unprofessional
