Disgraced obstetrician Neary was not a bad doctor: Harney

Disgraced obstetrician Michael Neary was not an evil man or a bad doctor despite needlessly removing scores of women’s wombs at Co Louth hospital, Tánaiste Mary Harney said tonight.

An inquiry into his practices at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital found he was a doctor who at critical points during his training was inadequately supervised.
