Unhealthy legislation

Madam, - Seán Quinn spots an opportunity - that's what business people do

Madam, - Seán Quinn spots an opportunity - that's what business people do. He'll provide cheaper health insurance and make a profit.

No other single action has done more to expose the inefficiency of the VHI. What is the Government's response? It introduces emergency legislation to make his Bupa takeover more expensive.

All emergency legislation by definition produces bad law. It is sad that Mary Harney, of all people, should be trying to frustrate Quinn and eager customers anxious for change. It's not for that the PDs were founded. - Yours, etc,
