Harney’s departure comes too late

MARY HARNEY’S decision to depart the Irish political scene comes, tragically, years too late.

A blind, misguided commitment to inequality as a cornerstone of society was seemingly hotwired into her DNA as it was with all her former and thankfully now defunct, PD colleagues. Her departure is overdue and the tragic aspect applies for all those who suffered as a result of her dogged zeal to consolidate a dysfunctional two-tier healthcare system.
