Tim O'Malley (Limerick East, Progressive Democrats)

The Deputy is speaking now when I am endeavouring to speak. This Government has done more than any other Government in the history of the State to reduce hospital waiting lists. It has the courage to attempt to reform the health services, unlike other coalitions who knew about the problems in the health service and did not have the guts to take on the vested interests and change the system.
