James Reilly (Dublin North, Fine Gael)

The Ceann Comhairle has informed the House that his patience is running thin. Can he imagine the positions for Irish citizens in the south of this country who now are obliged to wait two years for respiratory appointments at Cork University Hospital? That point is merely incidental. As for the Taoiseach who tells Members that he abides by the rules of the House, Deputy Stanton already has pointed out he enjoys a majority in this House and can change the rules if he does not believe the institution is working properly, a sentiment with which all Members would agree.
