Outgoing HSE Director Tony O’Brien: Who would want my job?

The embattled outgoing chief of the health service said he doubts anyone else will want his €186,000-a-year job.

Tony O’Brien, director general of the HSE, said while he “hopes there will be strong competition for my post, I have my doubts at this stage”.

He said the role essentially left one person “accountable for the mistakes” of hundreds of thousands.
