Billy Kelleher (Cork North Central, Fianna Fail)

The motto of the Health Services Executive should be fairness and equality. There is no doubt, as Deputy McManus stated, there is apartheid in our health system. It could be argued that there is apartheid in many systems, such as the education system and society in general, which is a matter we must address. For example, a family may have a great deal of money but their child gets free primary, second level and now third level education. It must be asked whether this is fair or equitable if we want a fair society.
