  • People seem to forget that Michael Noonan presided over the the Health Services during the Hepatitis C scandal, which caused several people who would otherwise have spent the intervening years in the busoms of their families, to die. And that’s not taking account of the many more who felt they had no other option but to end their suffering by their own hands. He was also the man who went on Today Tonight to defend the then Governments handling of the Army pay scandal, when he accused soldiers of forcing their wives to picket Military installations. He robustly blustered when he caught himself out by making conflicting and contradictory statments on the programme. Then when the Gleeson Commission was established to investigate the matter, decided that he’d supported the issue all along.
    How can we trust a man to look after our dwindling finances when his own mind is subject to such rapid change that his mouth can’t keep up? We are about to plunge ever deeper into the financial merde.
