Mary Harney in New Zealand

Hagar

The Minister for Health Mary Harney is currently selflessly promoting Ireland in New Zealand a full week before St Patrick's Day. Given her track record do we want her back at all? Or should we all be making banners to wave at the airport on her return?

bronte

They can keep the bint.

Run_to_da_hills

She should stay there.

projectmayhem

Does anyone else get a twinge of embarrassment when she does public engagements and is introduced as "Irish minister for health.."?

Poll added.

bring her home and feed the needy.

Maybe if she visits the country side, someone will mistake her for an wild boar or something and capture her..

ejmaztec

Those New Zealanders deserve to be punished for having such an ear-ripping accent.

Biggins

I say we turn off all the lights and when she returns, pretend we're not in!

When is the Killer Whale Mating season?

News Tomorrow:

New Zealand mysteriously disappears.

Experts suggest it may have sunk under increased gravitational pressure from unknown source. Irish scientists remain tight lipped about the incident.




Nah but seriously, imagine her zorbing.

Its absolutely cringe worthy.

As the minister for health, they should be, well, healthy looking.

bonerm

She should go to Rotorua. I'd imagine her farts smell not unlike the air over there.

The only lights we need to turn off, are the ones on the landing strip

:pac: Very good.
If I though for a second that would work, I'd personally sneak onto the runway with a hammer and smash them myself.
(I'd pay for the damages later but it would be worth it)

It's a great shame that Ireland isn't like the island in Lost. She'd never find her feckin way back.

We can't inflict her on NZ. There'd be a famine with weeks.

Sergeant

We will need to plant the entire county of Roscommon with trees to even out the amount of CO2 used to fly her down there.

WindSock

They'll probably mistake her for one of their own.

Elenxor

Ya, the natives came out to do the Haka to welcome her, took one look and ran away screaming!!!:D

Yeah, and while we're at it why isn't our minister for transport a car or something and our foreign minister, well, foreign?
It's a disgrace!
Rabble rabble rabble!

The_Kew_Tour

With all that has gone on in this country in past 18 months you think all Ministers would be working there backs off to get this country back on its feet some bit.

Yet our Minister is in other side of world.

They are really taking this piss, taken way too far at this stage.

It April Fools day to them everyday it seems.

how do you plan on plying the innocent killer whale with enough alcohol to facilitate such a congress?

WindSock

don't know why she is there. Kiwis have no money.

Fizman

She'd pass as a Mauri actually.

Run_to_da_hills

Can Aukland airport handle blimps?

pickarooney

She might like to drop by the Faroes next...

Rookster

The only good thing about her flying overseas is that it does'nt cost the taxpayer an exorbitant amount spent on first class and all. She travels in freight.

Jazzy

what did she fall or something and the earth kept giving way and she ended up in new zealand a la a china syndrome ?

She's our version of the big black smoke monster:

She consumes everything she sees.
She shakes the trees and bushes went she goes by.
She rattles.

Transporting livestock is a bit more costly than freight.

Fratton Fred

Oh my god. Without the minister for health the health service will fall apart.

We'll end up with dirty hospitals, a lack of beds, overpaid consultants, misdiagnosed illnesses, x-rays going unexamined. It will be total chaos.

Wheres the "Me so Harney!" option?

No Fred, our health system is fine.

It's a tightly run ship, just like the one in your sig.

Please Mary stay in New Zealand, Im sure she will make her way back and continue to make a mess that is the Health Service,

It saddens me to think how bad the health service is and no one is accountable shocking!!!!!

its a close one isnt it! maybe she was in spain on holidays and fell off a curb

Biggins

We send one person who is considered a waste, out of the country on a long, expensive junket and we allowed possible foreign future murderers to stay!
Something is wrong with this picture.

We should block one, the former from returning in and if guilty, kick the latter out!

paddyismaddy

how did she fit

KnifeWRENCH

Mary Harney is overweight, not particularly attractive and has done a less than satisfactory job as Minister for Health. I hereby derive humour from these circumstances.

Have her fly back via public planes. And as she won't be able tp fit most of their seats, she should be kept there for a while...

Out of interest, do you think the government jet is the height of luxury or something?

BA first class, or even business would wipe the floor with it in terms of space and comfort.

What if she was in a wheel-chair?
Or if it turns out that her weight is due to a medical condition?

No, but I don't think the government jet will refuse to carry her. "Normal" flights may, though

Or if she was a qualified doctor, knowing how to do her f**king job? I'd prefer a borderline-obese doctor who knew what she was doing rather than an athletic fit person who knew f**k all.

What makes you think a doctor would be a good Minister for Health?

Doctors are one of the main vested interests that oppose any reform in the Health service that affects them.

They just keep saying "let the nurses do it".

But then it would only be fair to the pilots to give them a parachute. They dont deserve to go down with or on Harney
