James Breen (Clare, Independent)

Week in, week out the appalling state of the health service is debated in the House. The Government's only defence is to inundate Deputies with statistics, hoping that the real truth will be lost among the dross. Every week the Taoiseach comes to the House and waffles about all the money being spent on the health service. If he referred to large sums of money being squandered on the health service, people would believe him.
