Is Health Minister Stephen Donnelly doing a good job? Staff and patients have their say

Leo Varadkar is due to replace Micheál Martin as Taoiseach in December and the coalition leaders will then play a game of musical chairs with ministers.

Several Fianna Fáil TDs have privately said that they are unhappy with Mr Donnelly’s performance and expressed hope that he would be replaced - with Mayo TD Dara Calleary seen as a serious contender., Minister Donnelly said that it was “no secret” that he would like to continue as Minister for Health, describing the job as “the greatest professional honour of my life”.“I think the healthcare system is doing a good job.

“At least when someone’s in the job they have more of a chance to do things. If we reshuffle or get a new minister they’re going to… start from scratch. “So I don’t think it’s going to make much of a difference regardless if there’s a new or old Minister for Health.”Out in his Wicklow constituency, his neighbours were more positive about his performance:“I think he should stay on a while and maybe get some things done but I would like to see if Simon Harris could get that position back.She gave him a mark of six out of 10.

In May 2020, scientists at Trinity asked Stephen Donnely to recommend Vitamin D supplementation due to their finding of a strong link between Vitamin D deficiency and increased risk of death from Covid. He ignored them, and people died as a result:

Has he ever been questioned on ties to big pharma in his previous job role? Given the overwhelming profits that were made by pharma as a direct result of his ineffective policies and clearly dubious decisions to vaccinate a cohort who had a higher risk from vaccines than covid?

9 of of 10. He helped get this country through a pandemic while members of an opposition party attended a Provo funeral.

He hasn't done any job well thus far

Its not the ease of the job, its ones ability to do it and donnelly cant do it. Neither can any other person who is elected in a popularity contest with no qualifications.

An 8 out of 10 give over hahaha
