Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

I know the Deputy does not have much faith in me. He accused me of criminal negligence in the House last week. He should reflect on some of the things he says. Deputy Reilly cannot have it every which way. He has opposed every single reform for political reasons, and he made complaints about the many initiatives that were taken to improve the performance of the hospital system, especially as far as accident and emergency and the utilisation of hospital capacity is concerned.
