Shortall deserves our admiration for stand

I admire former Labour TD Roisín Shortall for making a stand and following her conscience in resigning as Minister of State at the Department of Health.

Very few, (hardly any) resign, apart from her former Labour colleague Willie Penrose, who also resigned as a minister of state from this Government.

Most tend to hang in there, hoping for promotion to a senior level, and won’t rock the boat under any circumstances.
