Harney and health: if her game is up, why ask the opposition to play ball?

I WAS stunned by your complete volte face on the ongoing cancer controversy and the policies of Mary Harney, illustrated by your editorial (November 29).

Less than a week earlier (November 23), in another editorial, you denounced Harney, telling her the game was “absolutely and utterly up” and “it’s time you were gone”.

On November 29, however, far from the game being up, you insist that the failed Dáil motion of no confidence in the Health Minister “should be seen as a beginning”.
