James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

Deputy Seymour Crawford is right because that seems to be the modus operandi of this Government, whether it is minorities, such as people with cystic fibrosis, children with autism waiting for assessment, the homeless, or people with mental health, who have co-located hospitals built on the site of their psychiatric unit while continuing to be treated in an open ward with 23 people where there is three feet between each bed. There are 23 women, acutely disturbed, many menstruating with one toilet, one shower and one bathroom. It is an absolute disgrace.
