Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

This is about choices. The Taoiseach is making the wrong choices and there is no escaping the social and health consequences of the Government strategy, not least in terms of patient safety. I ask the Taoiseach to call a halt to this and announce that the plan will be put where it deserves to go, which is in the bin. The Government should be part of building a proper, decent wraparound health service for all the people of the State.
