Mary Harney on Frontline

Say what you will about the HSE etc etc etc
That woman has balls of steel!

Yes. Its only the bad and sensational stuff thats covered. She has taken on the consultants and pharmacists and won. A lot of cartels and bad practices to be broken in the health services.

not saying i am a fan, but i respect her
Herself and Lenihan seem the strongest Ministers, Martin and Hannafin also

Yes herself and lenihan seem to be very strong when dealing with the lower paid and pensioners but not with the bankers and high civil servants. Both absolute wafflers when it comes to answering questions by throwing out statistics but no facts.But sure Hitler,Thatcher,Franco etc were regarded as 'strong' in their day.
