Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am a little confused about the point the Deputy is making. She is saying that Connolly Hospital could not recruit agency staff over Christmas because staff were not willing to work over Christmas, so it was not that there was some type of Government edict that they could not do it or that the resources were not there. They just were not able to find agency staff willing to work over Christmas, and if that was the case, that was the case.
