Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

My proposal is that the debate would commence earlier than 9.30 a.m., whether it be 8.30 a.m or 8 a.m., I do not mind, that it would continue until every Member of the House who wishes to speak on this biggest scandal about hospital waiting lists would speak, and that we would have that right. That is what we are elected to do, that is what I am looking for and that is what my constituents want me to say.
