Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

In the late 1980s there were practically no day care cases, but now over 500,000 cases are day care so the figure from the late 1980s is not comparable with that of today. The first people to oppose that would be the consultants because they deal with more than 500,000 cases on a day care basis, which is not how it was 15 years ago.
