Naturally enough, the Pro Life Campaign has reacted with surprise over the appointment today by Minister James Reilly of Tony O'Brien a leading abortion campaigner to the top job in the HSE.
Giving O'Brien the job as Chief Executive is very significant considering this is a man who campaigned vigorously against the 2002 pro-life referendum.
It's telling that an Irish Independent report on the O'Brien last week described him as a 'close confidante' of Minister Reilly. Could this explain some of Reilly less well advised comments on the abortion issue in recent times?
It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Not well for the Minister one would expect.
