Originally published: 23 Feb 07. On Wednesday night of the 21st the Irish Government snuck through emergency legislation that completely changed the landscape of the Irish Health Insurance Industry..
Make no mistake, this was TOP SECRET, cloak and dagger stuff. At the close of business on the 21st a Mr Sean Quinn was in the process of buying the Irish section of Health Insurance company Bupa, at the start of business on the 22nd (with absolutely no advance information of the change), his new venture would now be liable to €160m of compensation payments to competitors.
Well I just hope that Sean Quinn didn't sign the legal purchase contract on that night.
I wouldn't expect this kind of behaviour from a despot dictatorship in a third world country! Irish Politics really needs a credible opposition party and I need to lighten up.
