John Curran (Dublin Mid West, Fianna Fail)

I say that because following the meeting of the Joint Committee on Health and Children, Deputy Jan O'Sullivan said she did not believe the issues that arose were a resigning matter for the Minister for Health and Children. Yet some hours later, it was Deputy Jan O'Sullivan and her party which brought forward the motion of no confidence. The reason she did so was not because of ideology but because she was specifically caught on the hop when Deputy Reilly said he was going to his party leader. She did not want to lose the opportunity.
