Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

It is unacceptable to have on trolleys the number of patients about which the Deputy spoke. This has been a recurring issue in this House on so many occasions over the past two decades. It is not acceptable that this happens. It is because of the system that has evolved over the years and the attempts over many years to rectify the position. This morning, 22 November, there were 18 on trolleys at 8 a.m. in Galway University Hospital.
