Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have just given Deputy Adams examples, as outlined by the director of financial services at Tallaght hospital this morning, of the changes made there to deal with a serious overrun and the decisions taken by the board and personnel to deliver a far more effective service for patients, the central focus of this process. I do not know if Deputy Adams still holds to his proposition to tell the International Monetary Fund, IMF, and the European Central Bank, ECB, to take a hike. If Deputy Adams assumes the country will emerge from the economic challenges it faces by doing nothing, then he really does live in a fantasy land.
