Timmy Dooley (Clare, Fianna Fail)

I tell them and I have no problem with that. I am prepared to put the facts before the people and to accept the advice of the senior clinicians in the region. There are other people running around this country who are not prepared to back up what they say with any level of evidence other than "dúirt bean liom go ndúirt bean léi". That does not work for me and it does not work for the patients in County Clare. I will be surprised if it works for the patients in the Dingle Peninsula whom the Deputy represents.
