Forget the hairdo, Harney wastes millions on hospitals’ makeover

WHAT totally bewilders me is the apparent inconsistency of the electorate.

Bertie Ahern spent about €20,000 a year on make-up but no one seemed too bothered. Now Mary Harney is supposed to have wasted a measly €400 or less on a hairdo and people want her to resign.

Apart from that, she has wasted hundreds of millions of euro on unused equipment, unused hospital wards and misdiagnosis or non-diagnosis of dozens of worried people by supposedly highly-trained staff and nobody seems to mind.
