Jump To Comment: 1 2 3There were between 20 and 25K on the march in Cork this afternoon. Thankfully the sun shone for the whole event. The mood was positive and determined. As with the teachers march last year, the crowd stretched from its starting point to its finishing point - from Connolly Hall through Parnell Place around by Merchants Quay then along the full length of Patrick Street and on down to the end of the Grand Parade.
"Minister for Health, Mary Harney, has said marching will not reduce the economic challenges facing the country. She also said people have the right to protest in a democracy, but said the Government has to take the decisions that it deems necessary to deal with the economic crisis. "
Translation: March all you want you idiots, but we'll still push through the policies we and our elite friends want.
"She said the Government faces unprecedented economic challenges and that everyone needs to work together in the national interest."
Translation: We're cutting welfare and services to pay for this and we refuse to fairly tax the rich. Get used to it fools.
Why is this woman even still in office??. The PD's no longer exist. Her sole remit seems to be to dismantle our health services and run them into the ground so that large corporations can come in and cherry pick the profitable parts of it, creating a basket case system like in the US. They don't even bother to follow up on the millions some of these private health insurance companies still owe to the public health system for use of it's facilities, meanwhile old people wait on trollies for hours in A&E
Harney has no party and therefore speaks for no one in or out of government. In any other country she'd be gone long ago - but she won't go of her own accord because that takes the kind of moral courage and ability to do the right thing that she doesn't possess. Surely there is something in the Constitution that prevents her, her party dissolved, from holding a post in government? She has never run as an independent, for instance. I would argue she has no legal right to be there.
