Leaders' Questions
3:00 pm
Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central, Independent)
On behalf of the Technical Group I offer my deepest sympathy to the families of the fishermen who died at Glandore Harbour in west Cork and to the fishing communities of Ireland and Egypt. It was a very sad day, in particular because the incident happened only 2 km from land.
I raise the issue of our health service and the debate about front-line services, particularly in regard to the announcement yesterday about the proposed cuts of €700 million in 2012. I nearly choked on my cornflakes this morning when I heard the Minister for Health saying there would be no cuts to front-line services.
