Michelle Mulherin (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Consequently, we have no control over our financial situation.

Instead, in the communities across the country where there are problems with health because it is threadbare, the Members opposite are throwing oil on the fire and frightening people. That is all they can do because they do not care about the people. They would rather the whole health system was shut down, because they cannot accept that somebody else can do it better than they can. Somebody can do it with a bit of principle and somebody can try to improve this country, which is what we will do.
