    I fail to see what Mary Harney is expected to achieve by returning from New Zealand. Seeing as when she is here she is actively making a heinous of her brief, perhaps its best she stay on the other side of the world. Lets face it, who actually wants her back, besides of course, all the vested interests she champions that is?
    No matter what you think of yourself, the moment you try to justify the murder of an innocent with idealism, no matter what that ideal might be, you take your place on the side of evil and all your claims to virtue are as naught.

    In that case, maybe Harney's working to rule, like seemingly the majority of her public and civil service counterparts.

    Sailor, I'll give you a hypothetical situation. Should Ireland come under attack by a foreign power, and the Defence Minister was out of the state, would you expect his immediate return to Ireland? (I'm aware that we don't have a Minister for Defence at present)

    Wouldn't be a bit surprised if the public announcement of this was planned for when she was in NZ.

    Firstly, it is not a valid comparison - secondly, it might be preferable for him to remain outside the state and discharge his duties from there. Do I want him in the trenches getting in the way of professional soldiers? NO

    Wilson did not ask her about her trip to NZ.

    She's a goner.

    Did anybody vote for the HSE?

    Nobody voted for the ESB either - what's your point?
