Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

Two months ago, the Minister for Health, Deputy Reilly, fired the expert board of the HSE and took direct personal charge of the health service, so I presume the Taoiseach and his Cabinet colleagues are fully informed of what has been going on.

I have two questions. Why are crystal clear commitments, made only a few months ago, now being abandoned? Why did the Taoiseach personally claim yesterday that the future of Roscommon County Hospital is secure, when the evidence shows this is not true?
