Liam Twomey (Wexford, Fine Gael)

We must oppose the guillotine on the Medical Practitioners Bill 2007. The events in Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in 1998 formed the basis of that legislation. The Judge Harding Clark report on the inquiry showed what went wrong in the protection of hospital patients. It is despicable that we are to have a three-hour debate on so important an issue.
