How odd. Note what Fine Gael health spokesman Dr James Reilly said (www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/health/2009/0303/1224242142398.html):"From my general practice, I know that vaccination is the most dangerous thing that GPs do because of untoward effects, which are rare, but possible." And in Northern Ireland (three years ago -- www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/health/1632m-payout-over-children-disabled-by-vaccinations-13576619.html): "The Government has paid almost £2m to Ulster children left severely disabled by vaccines, despite claiming the routine jabs are safe..." Why should taxpayers have to pay, willy-nilly, for these dodgy vaccines, AND for the compensation for vaccine damage? "It's all for the good." Really?

“It’s all for the good.” Really?

Who is responsible? Who is the party's spokesperson on health? Why, it's Deirdre de Burca! So... Who will answer questions about the Greens' health policies? Because there certainly are questions. Like: Why is it mostly gobbledygook, written in appalling English, with bad grammar, misspellings, and disastrous proof-reading? Why does it look like a bunch of quasi-Green ideas watered down by Fianna Failers? (There just might be some good ideas in there, but it's hard to tell.)

Care to name a constituency where it will be easy for them! The article is quite funny, especially the last line. I could just imagine Deirdre thinking to herself "Hang on, I never have to deal with you pricks again. Goodbye!" Louth will be hard for the Greens?
