Jim Daly (Cork South West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

-----neither the Minister, Deputy Harris, nor I have ever carried out one of these procedures and never could do so because it is a clinical matter and there are clinical decisions and considerations. The Deputy can shout me down all she likes but it would be in her interest and in everyone's interest to listen to me as well. She can nod and if she wishes to play politics with this she can continue to do so but there is another side to the story that has to be understood before we can reach a solution to this difficult and challenging issue. It is not just about resources because that is what is within our gift.
