Dr Tony Holohan has announced he is stepping down as Chief Medical Officer stating it has been a “privilege” to serve in the role throughout the pandemic.Taoiseach Micheal Martin has paid tribute to Dr Holohan for his “calm and personable nature” which he said “gave us all the assurance we needed during the pandemic.”
“In particular, these past two years have presented extreme challenges to public health globally and I have been honoured to work alongside exceptional colleagues in the Department of Health, the HSE, the wider health service and across Government. “During this time, I have witnessed the dedication of colleagues to protecting the health and wellbeing of people across Ireland.
“I have known Tony, and had the privilege to work with him, since he was appointed Deputy Chief Medical Officer in 2001, and then during his 14 years as the Chief Medical Officer. Health Minister Stephen Donnelly said he witnessed first-hand Dr Holohan’s “unwavering dedication” to protecting the people of Ireland throughout the pandemic.
“He will play a critical role in applying his knowledge and skills to the development of the next generation of thinking and practice in public health, and I wish Tony all the best in this new and exciting chapter in his career.”
I suggested Thurs, Tubby Hooligan sneaking out of the limelight to avoid being part of inquiry into especially our elderly left to die in Nursing Homes. He wanted Nursing Homes to open earlier than they did, luckily they ignored. He wanted no inquiry into Cervical Cancer Scandal!
