Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

The Taoiseach needs to test his belief and have confidence in his assertion. I would have every confidence in Labour Party Members and every other Opposition Deputy in circumstances where there was a free vote. I also have confidence in the fact that members of the Taoiseach's party would not support the Minister, Deputy Harney, or her pursuit of health policy if a free vote were applied by the Taoiseach. I support the demand to have this debate immediately following the Order of Business.
