Mattie McGrath (Tipperary South, Independent) | Oireachtas source

Obviously, the Bill is rushed and could not be done fast enough. The Minister is going to stay here all night but now we find out that the arrangements for the institutions are not even made. I know that from my hospital in south Tipperary. No one knows what is happening but the general threat is that hospitals which do not conform to and perform the Bill’s provisions will be starved of cash and dealt with. It is appalling.
