    Don't know whether to laugh or cry at reading this...

    The HSE has decided to invite what they have referred to as "celebrity opinion formers" to join in a questions and answers type forum with HSE directors.

    In all reality, what on earth would Gerald Kean, a man who recently lost his driving licence due to demonstrating a serious lack of judgement that caused him to drive while 1.5 times over the limit, (who is also somone who probably has the highest level of private health insurance available), know about what people who rely on the HSE, might actually require???

    If it's as simple as sitting down with stake holders, (and I'll still argue that Gerald Kean who probably has the highest level of private health insurance that money could buy, is not a HSE stakeholder, nor is he even close to being one, and if he can't form an opinion that he should not to drive when drunk, then I'd also argue that his wider opinion is not worth listening to), then why not sit down regularly with people who use the HSE and dispense with all the media consultants, spin doctors and employees on insanely high salaries???
