Government is ultimately to blame for nursing home scandal

THE Government is ultimately responsible for the appalling conditions at Leas Cross nursing home.

The Taoiseach, Tánaiste, former Health Ministers Mary Harney and Michéal Martin, and their respective junior ministers, should bow their heads in shame, if not resign.

Of course, this won’t happen since none of them saw anything wrong with the Taoiseach’s fairytale story of how he saved £50,000 when he was broke.
