James Reilly Biography

James Reilly is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on August 16, 1955 in Lusk, Wyoming, United States.

Just two weeks after the motion of no confidence, Reilly unilaterally cut Irish consultants salary. Compared to salaries from 2008, the cut represents over a 40% drop, the largest cut in the public sector. Controversially, this salary cut applied to not only new consultant contracts but also to existing consultants who moved to take up a similar position in a different hospital. Since this pay cut there has been difficulty in recruiting consultants with several posts receiving no applicants. While under questions from the Oireachtas, Minister Reilly downplayed the recruitment problems and stated “there is not the great crisis chaos that the Irish Hospital Consultants Association would like to paint”. Two days following this the Minister stated “it was never my intention that somebody who has spent 10 years working as a cardiologist…would be expected to return here and commence work at the starting point on the salary scale, that, clearly, does not make sense”.

Reilly graduated with a medical degree from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in 1979 and is a qualified General Practitioner. Reilly was president of the Irish Medical Organisation prior to his election. He was appointed as party spokesperson on Health in 2007 and promoted to Deputy Leader in a reshuffle on 1 July 2010.

Reilly has called the tobacco industry “evil”, claimed that they “target our children” and declared “war” on them. Both his father and brother died from smoking related illnesses. He received cabinet approval to aim to make Ireland a tobacco free country – defined as a smoking rate below 5% – by 2025. Ireland became the second country in the world to commit to introducing plain tobacco packaging. He has taken a defiant attitude to threats of legal action from the tobacco industry. During the Irish Presidency of the European Union, Reilly prioritised the Tobacco Products Directive. He secured the agreement of the European Council within just six months. Health Commissioner Tonio Borg praised his ability in securing this agreement. When the Tobacco Directive’s future became doubtful because of tobacco industry lobbying in the European Parliament, Reilly arranged for letters supporting the directive to be sent to MEPs from himself, the Taoiseach, 16 European Health ministers and the World Health Organisation. In an unusual move in Irish politics, Reilly accepted a Bill proposed by independent Senators which aims to ban smoking in cars where children are present.
