    Minister for Health and Children Mary Harney has offered her resignation to the Taoiseach, after deciding not to contest the next General Election.
    Ms Harney told RTÉ News this evening that she did not believe it was appropriate for someone who was not running in the election to continue to serve in Cabinet.
    She said she had informed the Taoiseach of her decision last week, but that he asked her to hold off on the announcement.
    Ms Harney said she assumed that her resignation would be accepted, and that as the Taoiseach already had to fill one vacancy at Cabinet, he would fill her position at the same time.
    Asked if she expected further resignations of Ministers who are not contesting the election, she said that was a matter for the individuals concerned.
    The former leader of the Progressive Democrats has served as Minister for Heath since 2004, as well as Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment.
    Ms Harney, who served as Tánaiste to Taoiseach Bertie Ahern, was first elected to the Dáil in 1981.

    I'm disappointed. I wanted to hear her to "squeal like a pig" when being booted out of government.

    A complete failure of a politician, FAS, the HSE, and a health service in tatters while she sails off with a huge pension.

    Crap.
    I was hoping to see her humiliated.

    Nice to see her go though. Overweight female canine.

    So if Mary Harney has jumped ship will that mean the ship isn't going to sink and FF might be ok.:D

    She wouldn't resign over the cervical cancer vacine or the amount of people on trolleys but just in time to pick up a fat juicy pension....

    This thread would suggest that the poster who started the 'Why can't we slag fat people?' thread was labouring under a false premise.

    I know she is not the most popular..

    But at least she has done the decent thing and offered her resignation..

    As far as I know there are others who have said they will not be running for election but are still hanging on and haven't offered to resign..

    They are hardly going to be that bothered about doing anything constructive between now and the election.. They should feck off too..

    If I was not an atheist I would say thank God.Lets hope she has not signed contracts for the new children's hospital.I suppose we will soon see her on the board of some private hospital or drug company.Between herself and Charlie mc Creevey they did more damage to Irish society than almost any other politician.
