Micheál Martin says he has full confidence in Department of Health secretary general Robert Watt

Elsewhere Sinn Fein’s health spokesman David Cullinane and Fianna Fail TD John Laharte, both members of the Oireachtas health committee, respectively described the handling of Dr Holohan’s planned move to Trinity as “a mess” and “ham-fisted”.

Senior officials in the HSE and the Department, not the Minister, are “running the show”, and that’s not the way it should be, he said. The Deputy said he never had a difficulty with Dr Holohan taking up the TCD position, thought that had value and it would have been “acceptable”, “if we were told from day one, he was not on a secondment but was taking up a permanent role in Trinity College”.

He agreed with Mr Laharte there should be an early meeting of the health committee to discuss the report due on Monday from the Secretary General on the matter.

No lesson learnt from zappone, No ,,,the government are just thick ,,,,without accountability nothing changes

Hooray for all those oh so principled opposition politicians who were so aghast at the prospect of a highly qualified medical professional, with a lifetime of practical experience behind him, sharing his knowledge with the next generation of medical students but who has lost out?

As a school teacher you have learned feck all you have to go along with that other clown the Green Machine

Seems ye lot constantly require lesson after lesson after lesson. Politicians say sorry, ordinary working people are given fines.

Is that the new election slogan too? Its All he ever says these days...

Wasn’t that supposed to have happen after the zappone appointment?

A dear MichealMartinTD lessons lessons..when the f-'k are yous gonna learn then fiannafailparty

No lessons need to be learned here. If there was a vacant role it should have been advertised and a proper recruitment process followed as every other employer in the country does to ensure due process. Its not about learning lessons it’s about doing the basics right.

Detention and write out 100 times , I must not get caught scamming public funds

Like all the lessons before this !!!!!

Lessons to be learnt for voting FFG

At what point do you start applying all these lessons you've learnt? This isn't leaving cert, we need you to actually use the information you apparently learn. It's continuous assessment MichealMartinTD! Unless robertwatt goes, it is clear you aren't paying attention in class

Corrupt Ireland quote 'learn lessons' Tubby Hooligan awarded Freedom of Dublin by hazechu against will of Irish people Helped by unprofessional, dishonest, disrespectful, biased Irish media who don't mention his background including re Cervical Cancer Scandal, Nursing Homes etc

Lessons have been learnt by government. 'Lads for feck sake, don't get caught the next time'

By whom exactly?

First thing he needs to do is take on the unions and their vested interests. You can be sure he's not up for that.

They weren’t learned from the Watt debacle. He should consider his position.

Not again. A well trained rat would have learned by now.

Eh, was this lesson not learned when they tried to gift Zappone a made up job last summer?

Main lesson is the media attack on tonyholohan was a disgraceful for a man that served his country. Now they swing the blame on TDs, civil servants etc politicians always play the angles but some journalists should realise they are not elected to the Dail…

They must be very thick. Not learning up to now. They must be all very busy today. No one available to be on this week today. No one at all. Amazing. I suppose it’s hard to defend the indefensible

How many lessons learned already? This one does look like many previous ones, but I may be wrong. If not, it would mean to me that our politicians are or liars or too stupid to learn, or even both, which is dangerous for the country.

MichealMartinTD how many more lessons YOU need dude!!!! WE had enough😡😡😡😡

Again? ... Does anyone not know the rules at this stage? 🤯

They do but won’t be, not until high ranking civil servants face the consequences of their actions.

That's all he ever says

Lessons have to be learned no. 146

‘Full confidence’, code for he’ll be clearing his desk before the week is out….

He is so weak
