Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

We all have a responsibility and everyone is drawing their week's salary. If those problems exist, people are employed, under good conditions, to deal with them.

Dr. O'Reilly makes valid points on which I was asked to respond today and I am explaining what is happening in that hospital to deal with those issues. I accept that the improvements will not be made tomorrow, but they have been announced and approved and hopefully the work can be completed as soon as possible.
