Emigrants should get an apology from minister

APPARENTLY Health Minister Mary Harney, among other activities on her 15-day trip to New Zealand, is meeting members of the Irish community there.

Hopefully, the many exiled recently-qualified Irish physiotherapists there will be invited to meet her.

It would be good for her to hear how they have been forced to go there to get work because she cancelled sanctioned physiotherapy posts in the Irish health service, preferring to employ “managers”.
