Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

It is appropriate that we give the best wishes of the House to the new First Minister and Deputy First Minister and wish them well. We look forward to working with them in a collaborative way in the years ahead.

On the issue of health services and reform, that is a matter that has been discussed ad infinitum in this House, almost every day. If we wish to factor in debates, that can be done within the limited timeframe. We will have to prioritise and we will facilitate that prioritisation to the best of our ability.
