Dr Ted MacNamara an Orthodontist in Limerick who in the late 90's with his sister had 9,000 children under care when their services was attacked by sections of the Dental Profession. These groups had undue influence on the Dental Council. It took action to destroy a training programme which had been the key to their success in dealing with large numbers of children in the public orthodontic system and thereby sabotaged the service.As a result of collapsing their training programmes, staff left regional orthodontic departments. These Dentists had joined them and worked hard treating children in return for the training which they provided. There was now no reason for them to stay.

"I didn’t get elected but at least no one died" That was one of the comments I used to console myself on my lack lustre election performance, then some one died and election results paled into insignifance.

I am but a humble County Councillor but were I a member of a political party where the leader laid down the rules but did not apply them to himself I would show that party a clean pair of heels.

Hypocrisy Jesus said was the worst sin, hypocrisy i.e. how Bertie set internal standards in FF codes etc; fired Ivor Callely; condemned in forensic detail Michael Lowry; set up the Tribunals on Payments to Politicians. He at no stage credibly attempted to return the money until found out, and then only to get himself out of the compromised position he was in, and continues to live in Hypocrisy Central.
