Minister for Sumo

I don’t really have anything to say about Mary Harney. I think we’re all well aware of her inherent and consistent crapness as the health minister. I just liked the title.

She’s off swanning around New Zealand at the moment, you know. With her husband and various flunkies. This is not any kind of surprise either.

The annual Paddy’s day junkets have begun. There’ll be no first class travel though. No, sir. Tighten our belts time. Just business class. And no hotel suites. No way. We have to count our pennies. Just normal rooms in 5-star hotels. And no limos. Just top of the range hire cars that will be driven by somebody else.

I think it says a lot about our celebrations than politicians can’t wait to get the fuck out of here rather than stay home and have a pint with us mere mortals.

    Why the fuck do Irish Ministers need to tour around the world on Paddy’s Day? What are they doing? Threatening other nations with non-compliance if they aren’t drinking enough?

    Every one of them should be made to justify why they are junketing and should face questions about the relevance of their trip and what the benefit to the Republic was.

    It would be amusing just to see them wriggling to try and justify it.

    I take it she’s an ‘independent’ TD now? Maybe this is her last world tour at our expense. Don’t know if we’re also paying for her husband this time. She had the cheek to moan about being on a poor phone line and ‘far away’ when she was being grilled on Morning Ireland (yesterday morning) about the Tallaght Hospital shambles.

    If I were Jackie Healy Rae, or Michael Lowry or any of the other independent gobdaws keeping this shower in office I’d be wanting a Minishtry of me own out of the reshuffle.

    I’m sure Jackie’d love Arts, Sport & Tourism but that Department could be done away with, given to junior minister Mansergh and attached to the Taoiseach’s Department. Cut backs, don’t you know(but they never mention the cost of new signage, stationery, moving staff etc)

    Minister for Cuntishness. She is a disgrace.

  4. Sir Digby Chicken Caesar says:

    Fat cunt. That is all.

  5. el cuno says:

    I think it is of great benefit that our politicians go abroad for St. Patrick’s Day, spreading the good news about Ireland and creating jobs and business for the Irish people.

    It certainly worked brilliantly last year.

    Minister for Chips.

    The old ones are the best.

  7. VoiceOfTreason says:

    Her and the other bunch of Guinness Ambassadors should have these free holidays paid for bi Diageo as they are the only beneficiaries of the yearly Paddy Fest.

  8. killemall says:

    We can always hope that their trips end up like Liam Lawlor’s last one in Russia.

    I don’t understand how Sumo can justify being away for 15 days with the state of the HSE but then of course shes not in charge of it is she. It doesn’t matter what they learn on these trips as it won’t be applied here. Unless of course there’s a vested interest to benefit.
    There are serious rumours circulating about both Sumo’s & Cowans drinking. I’ve heard the pubs in NZ are shite so maybe it’s a form of rehab for her. I hope she doesn’t confuse any whale watchers while she’s there.

  9. The Cap'n says:

    Hasn’t she been busted time and time again on using taxpayers money as her own? Didn’t she use the government jet at a cost of 80,000 to go to Florida with a load of mates from FAS back in 2004? That would be the same trip her husband was on and where the taxpayer picked up the bill for her hairdo at a hotel. In addition to the daily allowance of 100euros for ‘incidental’ expenses.

    Her whole fucking head is incidental.

  10. New Zealand?!
    Jesus, I hope she doesn’t decide to go swimming. She might get stuck between the two islands and then there’ll be no shifting her.

  11. fill3rup says:

    She will stay in her Job because no one else will take it,a motion of No confidence will be brought by labour and will fail. Cowen will stick his fat fucking fingers in his ears shouting “Na-na-Na we have a mandate..Na na na” Gebereal Election in 2 years,Fianna Fail landslide…

  12. GLUAISTEAN says:

    LUNG THE YOUNGER – YOUR COMMENT IS THE ONLY ONE READING HERE….
    NOTHING-ABSOLUELY NOTHING – IS GOING TO CHANGE IN IRELAND. MOST OF YE ARE SO USED TO TAKING IT UP THE REAR THAT YE WILL NEVER CHANGE A THING. JESUS – MOST OF YOU GUYS WON’T EVEN CHANGE YOUR SHIRTS ON A DAILY BASIS, AND AS FOR TEH LAUGHABLE HYGIENE OF THE COMMON TRULLS…’NUFF SAID.

  13. dessiegee says:

    Gluey – Whats a “TRULL”?

  14. Sir Digby Chicken Caesar says:

    No need to shout.

  15. Rooster says:

    Perhaps she could be melted down and used as soap in our hospitals?

  16. SuperGrover says:

    Ah, Gluey, our resident mental defective. Never lets us down.

  17. itchybollix says:

    I was looking for a photo of the obese women in the film Blue Velvet for a pun but I can’t find any pictures of them..

    She once famously used the government jet to fly down from Dublin to Wexford and open a pub.

    She’s a fucking disgrace.

  19. The Cap'n says:

    The arrival of Ireland’s Health Minister must be a cause of some hilarity in Geneva at the World Health Organisation.

    ‘Ist ein vopper!’ and ‘Mon dieu, is this some kind of threat?’

  20. Manuel says:

    imagine that doing the haka….put the fear of god into any rugby team

  22. moss says:

    Harney is a float for the Auckland parade.

    Don’t come back Minister for Sausages.

  23. el cuno says:

    Itchy, check with Peadar but I don’t think there is an airport in Wexford to land the govt jet. Was it that time when they pushed her out, flew around and then collected her on the rebound?

  24. kevtherev says:

    THEY should have another look at that movie’Song For A Raggy Boy’ and get the fella that was beating the boy with a long stick with such venom and such obvious enjoyment. They should get him and let him and his stick loose on Harney

  25. Ibanez says:

    she should make a stopover in Japan on the way home..maybe take a swim with a blue swimming costume. Just a suggestion like.

  26. SAm crea says:

    it was an off-licence somewhere west of the shannon… no airport in wexford as far as I know. There is one in w~aterford though..

  27. Fred says:

    Having a health minister who is obese really sums up Ireland

  28. itchybollix says:

    waterford/wexford…does it really matter? whale and float jokes…classic stuff

  29. maggot says:

    She’d be kinda cute if you liked fat chicks though.
    10/1 Peadar would. Any takers ?

  30. The Cap'n says:

    (1) Was this flight to Wexford around the time of the strawberry picking?

    (2) Were there any mysterious raids on creameries
    around the same time?

  32. DD says:

    Any truth in the rumour that Gormless has commissioned a report into the emissions from Harney’s bathroom?

  33. Crank says:

    M.e.m.o. t.o. N.e.w. Z.e.a.l.a.n.d.

    Please reinforce bed for Irish Minister for Health arriving to stay with her husband…

    “Oh, she’s very vigorous in her lovemaking, is she, nudge nudge wink wink?”

    “Nope, she’s just a fat cunt.”

  34. Conan Drumm says:

    Mary Harney deliberately keeps herself overweight, knowing that that will distract from her policies and any questions about her competence.

    When people criticise her because of her size/weight she elicits sympathy from others because the criticism is seen to be unfair. Meanwhile, she has attacked the basis of the public healthcare system in Ireland and presides over an unwieldy and unworkable quango (HSE) which distances her from any responsibility for the effectiveness of the Irish health service.

    If Mary Harney was running a service business in the private sector she would have been fired long ago, and not because of her size/weight.

  35. Bearhunter says:

    Fuck me, what’s that fat cunt doing down here? We had an earthquake on Wednesday, must have been Harney getting off the plane. Would you like us to arrange a jet boating accident or something? Don’t think we have a bungy strong enough for the hoor.

    The picture in today’s Irish Times says it all. Stuffing her fat face and unable to stand;

    Sorry Killemall,

    The bad news is that pubs here in NZ can open all day and all night if they want. And they’re really not bad at all, with the usual exceptions.

  38. idlebones says:

    I’m all for Harney taking a junket to New Zealand, or wherever the fuck she wants. Just as long as it’s for long enough that we have time to change the locks, or at least lower the weight restriction on people coming into the country.

  39. peadar says:

    I’m wearing the same shirt today as yesterday. Gluey’s right I’m fucked, I’M FUCKED

  40. Mark says:

    Hello.
    I’m just here in case anybody hasn’t yet heard of Nell Mc Lavatory’s not-so-shocking exposé of Mizz Harney as a big, fat, drunken, re-hab attending cunt.
    On Tom Dunne on the radio, yesterday, I think.
    Lots of recordings of it out there.

    So, will she have the grace to resign when she gets back ?
    Are FF keeping her on as ballast ?

    And then there’s that cunt husband of hers on that holiday as well….
    It’s beyond a joke at this stage…

    dessiegee- look it up. Comments are free but education costs…

  42. Iano says:

    The off license was in Leitrim

    Not to worry I doubt that Leitrim people even know its exists.

    Jimmy Carr was on a programme (Late Late?) and on being informed that Harney was the Minister of Health he commented “You’re having a laugh”.

    If only!
