James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

The current Minister may not have been Minister for Health and Children at the time but I doubt she would have done any better in the negotiations given her propensity for lavish travel and painting her nails. We only need to consider her record, for example, her failure to implement redundancies, which costs the country €200 million per annum, and to address drugs reference pricing, which costs another couple of hundred million each year.
