Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Is this all a pretence? Are people making this up? Is there not a crisis in our accident and emergency departments? Is there not a crisis of patients on trolleys? The Taoiseach referred to weird economics, but what sort of economics puts money in the pockets of the elites but not into public services? Riddle me that. It is nightmare economics of the Fine Gael-Labour kind. Last week in the dying days of the Government, it abandoned its flagship health policy, one of the central planks of the programme for Government and Fine Gael's five-point plan. The Government got rid of it and has no public health policy.
