Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

As Deputy Martin will be aware, if money was the solution to the problems in the health system they would have been sorted long ago. He had some responsibility for that himself in a situation which did not work out. This is the first year in a number of years in which there was a substantial increase in the allocation for the health Vote. Some €500 million was allocated to cover an overrun from last year, as well as an additional €150 million as an increase in the budget for this year.
