Jonathan O'Brien (Cork North Central, Sinn Fein)

Last night, we heard ten minutes of legal bluster from a bumbling Minister for Health during which he failed to answer some fundamental questions. The appearance of his name in Stubbs Gazette is as a result of him breaching an order of the High Court, yet the Minister has given no indication as to when he will comply with that order. The Minister also directly contradicted his own register of interests as a Deputy. In his SIPO declaration he stated that he transferred his nursing home interests to a blind trust and yet we now know from the Minister's own mouth last night that this declaration was untrue.
