However, the same HSE will award itself bonuses for managers. Although a €263 million pay increase has been awarded across the service, a lousy €10 million for vaccination for young girls between the age of ten and 12 has been shafted by the Minister for Health and Children. Moreover, the announcement was made on the day of the American presidential election when, in an act of despicable cynicism, it was expected that people would take no notice of it.

Can the Taoiseach imagine anything as nonsensical as the HSE replying to its own employee in such a manner? Does the Taoiseach have a view in this regard?
