Mattie McGrath (Tipperary, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I put it to the Taoiseach that these facts are available to us right now but unfortunately he will not listen and he will have history repeating itself. There is a saying in the east of the country that a person should always be careful of where he or she wears a halo because it is only less than one foot away from the neck. It could slip down and do catastrophic damage to the ego. I ask the Taoiseach to please listen to the experts, the sick children and the parents who know, and to stall the ball and re-evaluate to see where we go.
