The Finance Minister Brian Lenihan has been taken to hospital this afternoon for surgery.

Mr Lenihan's spokesperson says he has been taken in for a minor procedure that was brought forward.

It is understood he will be out of work for a number of days.

The Snip?

Lets hope it isnt a consultant who operates.

Otherwise the snip might become more of a 'major' surgery and his wardrobe will need serious updating

I bet he hasn't been on a waiting list for 6 months for it though...

Keano · 16-12-2009 03:40PM

So, CinammonGirl. Do you taste like cinammon or whats the craic?

CrazyRabbit · 16-12-2009 03:49PM

The operation is just so the surgeon can check if he really does have a heart....and a brain.

Somebody assault him with a model of Christchurch?

Dartz · 16-12-2009 03:52PM

We hope he has a recovery as speedy as the economy.

IvySlayer · 16-12-2009 03:52PM

I rang the hospital earlier to see how he's doing.

They said no change.

ScumLord · 16-12-2009 03:54PM

It's just a stitch he's been in fits of laughter ever since the budget.

Ebbs · 16-12-2009 03:55PM

I wonder what hospital he is having the procedure done in, id love if it was a private hospital just to see the reactions of the health sector chiefs.

If it is a public hospital, id imagine the procedure will be done with rusty knives and an axe, I say imagine...i mean I hope.

I heard it is to get Anglo Irish's right arm (to the elbow) surgically removed.

tony 2 tone · 16-12-2009 04:46PM

Maybe he is getting the bolts in his neck tightened.

blinding · 16-12-2009 04:50PM

So making other people pay for your sins can have health side effects.

Oh deary me !:p

Mind you for A FF politician we notice its nothing serious.

RMD · 16-12-2009 05:03PM

[crap]Rabble rabble rabble I hate Brian Lenihan and his harsh budget:mad:[/crap]

Get well soon Brian, hope you have a speedy recovery.

Its very interesting to compare this thread to a recent one done by a member of boards about a relative of theirs who was seriously ill. I know this isnt fully comparable but really highlights the fickle nature of people on this site who can laugh and crack jokes about one person they dont know and offer apparently genuine concern about another.

That_Guy · 16-12-2009 05:31PM

Is he gonna do a John O Donoghue on it and have gold plated surgeons and a chauffer to and from the bathroom when he needs it?

I'd say the security outside his room would be crazy.

"minor procedure" does not equal "seriously ill".

Huge difference I think.

True enough. I could also pick some random poster from the members list (who doesn't post anymore), say they were a friend and that they passed away recently, and stick up a condolence thread. You'd get lots of "RIP deathSLAYer2000", "so sorry" and ":("

Surely this person would be the last to die. They slay death.... allegedly.
