Charlie McGreevy having introduced Medical Cards as an automatic right for the over 70s in 2001 in an attempt by Fianna Fail to win support at the upcoming General Election, another Fianna Fail Minister for Finance, Brian Lenehan, then proposed taking away this automatic right and reintroducing a means test. Anyone with an income in access of e241.00 per week was to lose their Medical Card.

All this is in an effort to save e100 million! Yet the same Minister for finance had no problem providing a guarantee to the banks of almost e500 billion!
