Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

When Deputy Callely was Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children, he took the rap for the former Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Martin. He told the Taoiseach that the Minister knew all about the nursing homes issue and had read the documents. The Minister of State took the rap. He has now been sacked and the Ceann Comhairle will not permit a debate in the House.
