Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Independent)

I am pleased to reply to the debate, because it was rather wide-ranging, and I want to thank all the Deputies who contributed.

I understand the position of the Labour Party and of Sinn Féin. However, I find the position of the Fine Gael Party incredible for the following reason. Fine Gael keep telling us that its FairCare health policy will implement in Ireland the system of universal health insurance that operates in the Netherlands.
