Well FF have to protect so many of their mates getting rich off the treatment of elderly people as so much cattle and Harney has to avoid people realising how badly she has screwed the health portfolio.
This is without a shadow of a doubt, one of the more sickening acts of a morally corrupt administration.
If I could mass-sterilise the planet, I would. Seriously.

Harney hiding behind an board snip report by issuing the lees cross report the same day speaks volumes about what a mess she made of the HSE hopefully it will be her last claim to fame
No mention of the culture that existed whereby people were positively encouraged to run and expand homes like this as if they were mere businesses no different from hotels or B&Bs. The quick buck merchants thought they were on to a sure thing and arrived in what should be the healthcare system like a plague of profiteering locusts. I know of failed hotels that were actually turned into nursing homes in this way.
Great day to bury this kind of thing alright...
Tony Mullins, whose 82-year-old mother Kitty died at the facility in February 2004, said it was disgraceful staff in the Health Service Executive (HSE) could neglect their job and remain anonymous.
“The report confirms abuse, it confirms the absolute incompetence and neglect by the HSE to fulfil its duties, I don’t understand that,” said Mr Mullins, of the Leas Cross Deaths Relatives Action Group.
“It’s extraordinary what you can get away with in the HSE, it’s almost like they are some evil empire like the KGB. There’s no accountability and there’s no political will for accountability.”
Age Action said vulnerable residents who suffered sub-standard care were seriously betrayed by those responsible for managing the home and regulating standards there.
“The arms of the state responsible for protecting these people let them down, and let them down in a major way,” said spokesman Eamon Timmins.
“It is unclear if the systemic failures would have hidden the problem if it had not been for the media.”
Same old story no one named as being responsible from the dept of health same as all their court cases settled without admitting any wrongdoing on their behalf
Mary Harney has form for burying bad reports like this. I recall she did exactly the same regarding the death of Pat Joe Walsh.
Pat Joe was turned away from Monaghan hospital and bled to death as the ambulance staff were trying to find a hospital to take him.
