Health Service: Statements.
What are we in a less influential position to do but to wonder at it all and lament that all is not well in the health service? What will the Taoiseach do? Traditionally the prescription was to change the Minister. That would be radical surgery at this time. Who might be the new Minister of this relegation doom club? What about the Minister for Agriculture and Food, Deputy Walsh, or the Minister for the Environment and Local Government, Deputy Cullen? Other options would be the Minister for Transport, Deputy Brennan, the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, Deputy McDowell, or perhaps the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Deputy Cowen? He has already served his time. Perhaps it should be the Minister for Finance, Deputy McCreevy. There is a thought – he could combine both ministries. Unfortunately it may come down to the Taoiseach having to eat the cake he baked himself.
