Minister for Communications Pat Rabbitte has said the Government allowed a “good news” story about the development of primary care facilities to be dominated by a controversy about where they were located.
Speaking yesterday about the continuing controversy, he said “that’s not an achievement that I’m proud of but that’s what happened”.
The controversy over primary care facilities reignited over the weekend after The Irish Times reported that two centres, at Balbriggan and Swords in Dr Reilly’s constituency, were added the evening before the full list was published by the Government last July.
Damn those pesky facts.
Damn them.

Never mind.
It’ll soon be over.

When it’s an extra dimension.
Yes.
The expected announcement of a second State inquiry into the death of Savita Halappanavar is “an extra dimension, rather than a U-turn”, according to Minister for Health James Reilly.
The board of the Health Information and Quality Authority is expected to confirm today that it will undertake a statutory investigation into Ms Halappanavar’s death, following a request from the Health Service Executive.
It was unclear last night whether her husband Praveen, who says he will have nothing to do with the HSE inquiry, will co-operate with the investigation to be conducted by the authority, which is the State’s health watchdog.

Minister for Health James Reilly is resisting pressure to commit to the introduction of legislation to clarify the legal situation governing terminations of pregnancy.
Dr Reilly said it would be improper of him to make such a commitment before he considered the report of his expert group on abortion.
He said he had given the report, which he received this week, a “quick glance” but had not had time to study it properly. After he had done this, he would bring it to Cabinet, he said yesterday.
Take your time there, Bottler.
It’s not like the world is watching in horror or anything.
