Danbo!

I really hope this is a joke.

It is being reported today that the broadcaster and soccer pundit Eamon Dunphy could make a run for the Dáil.

The Irish Daily Star newspaper is running a front-page story this morning suggesting Mr Dunphy will run against Health Minister Mary Harney if she decides to seek re-election.

Mr Dunphy, a regular columnist for the newspaper, has apparently made the decision over the state of the health service as his grandson Brandon is in hospital and receiving ongoing medical treatment.

I know a lot of people think they could do a better job than Harney, but this guy is an idiot.

Harney has already said she will not run again.
Dunphy is just sounding off again - whats new!

Is there no one with half a braincell wishing to run?

He can barely look after his own health never mind the health of the nation with the drink and drug ravaged head on him. He can barely hold it together for a few hours commentary never mind tackling the hectic workload of a minister. Wouldn't be harneys biggest fan but she would be way better that the likes of dunphy who has an opinion on everything and knowledge of very little.

Well they are both a picture of good health and shining endorsement for Irish health. Dunphy is entertaining but I don't want him in any position with power!

What do you mean she would be better. You do realise she has had the job for several years now and the health service is still a joke. If anything it has gotten worse.

Dunphy's grandson is getting medical treatment and he has seen first hand some of the problems. Which also means he is committed to seeing change because it will actually affect a member of his family. Thats some incentive to get the job done.

If the two of them jointly held the post, maybe there would be half a braincell.



or not.

Coke and Hookers on the public exchequer. That man is a massive tosser.

anyhow... just becasue he runs for Dáil... even if some how he manages to get a seat... it won't mean he'd be put into Health...

Harney was only a "Minister for something or other" becasue she was a big politician in the PD's that joined up with Fianna Fail... they had to put her somewhere...

If she was to go for it again (Which some have said here she's no intention of doing) if she was to get a seat, doesn't genetrally mean she's a shoe in as a minister again. She's got nothing to bring to the table... with the amount... she's... taken from it...

I was in a bank once does that mean I should take over the banking system. The health system is extremly complex and requires vast knowledge a few hours sitting by a sick relatives bedside hardly qualifies someone to run our health system, but sure dunphy has a serious neck very average footballer yet has no problem speaking of some of the worlds greatest players as been brutal.

Well obviously, she's incapable of physical activity at this stage but I don't see.... oh wait, I see what you mean now.


I think they should pick 5 or 6 highly qualified people from the field of health and let us vote for one of them, actually pick qualified people capable of understanding what's going on and doing something about it in the language that the medical trade understands.
