PIC: Somebody has vandalised the Wikipedia page of new Minister for Health Simon Harris

Carl Kinsella

Well, that didn’t take very long.

Enda Kenny wasted now time in replacing Leo Varadkar as Minister for Health after his re-election to the position of Taoiseach was confirmed yesterday afternoon.

Filling Varadkar’s shoes is 29-year-old Wicklow TD Simon Harris – and the internet has wasted no time in trying to tear the man down.

Many grievances with the Department of Health either arose or continued throughout Varadkar’s time at its helm, but it certainly seems a little too early to stick the boot into his successor.

Sadly, nobody has told whoever edited the first line of Harris’ Wikipedia page to include this insult.

We also noticed that somebody else who edited the page misspelled the word ‘reform’, though that’s not quite as bad as being called a gimp.
