Bit premature to say this when he’s a close 5th in a 4 seat constituency

Don’t forget Mary Harney and her 410 dollar hairdo.

Worse than Mary Harney? I find that difficult to believe.

There is no one in the world who could do a good job as health minister. The HSe is entrenched and the unions who represent health workers are too strong. So reform is impossible.
That leaves giving them more money, which just disappears into a black hole

does that mean good things are on the horizon

I’d say Mary Harney was the worst.

Will never forgive the jump ship to FF! praying he misses out

To be fair to him he did well in a few areas.
Women’s health initiatives in particular are a standout.

Leo Varadkar was also minister for health. So was Mary Harney.
It’s all deplorable. I think FF did try to transform the health service up until the crash with the centralised HSE and PPARS but it was a hot mess. Incompetence for years.
OP, why was he the worst? I know a lot of health care workers and doctors and he seems to rate him quite highly and there is a good reason he has been in the job so long.

I don’t like him but still best health Minister of the last 20 years.

He’s the last in a long líne of bad health ministers. I’d say incompetent but I think they act deliberately. Good to see one of them gone at least. The public have one again decided in their wisdom to reward these assholes. So sick of hearing people complain about the government and then re-elect them. What’s wrong with people in this country? “Maybe I like the misery” ?

When have we had a decent health minister post Noel Browne?

Not a fan of Donnelly, but there have definitely been worse health ministers than him lol. Look at the failure to deal with TB in the 1940’s and 50’s when every other country in Western Europe had more or less eliminated it.
He’s not even the worst we’ve had this decade. Short memories.

Simon Harris was worse. He mostly just inherited Simon’s mess
Is he out? That at least is good news.
I was very disappointed to see Darragh O’Brien get reelected.
The trampolines of Ireland sleep soundly, safe from accusations.

I’d argue he’s been the best this century
