I am rarely party political in my contributions to debates. However, this motion is attention seeking. It is akin to a bold child looking for notice. I concur with Deputy Barry that the people who provide our health services are fine, upstanding and extremely hard-working people. Fianna Fáil, in tabling this blatantly political motion, does a disservice to those people.
