Hospital Overcrowding: Motion [Private Members]
4:10 pm
Stephen Donnelly (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
So passionate are my colleagues that they forgot to leave time for a wrap up. That is a reflection of how seriously we take this issue. I will speak briefly. I will not waste too much time talking about Sinn Féin's nonsense. Its contributions spent more time talking about Fianna Fáil than they did about the patients waiting on trolleys. Deputy Ó Caoláin said that Fianna Fáil was here for the shock and not for action. This from the party that in 2016 ran away from Government talks in Dublin and in 2017 collapsed Stormont and keeps it closed. In 2018 and 2019, its representatives sat in their offices in Westminster hiding while wafer-thin Brexit votes were won and lost, with abstentionism in one hand and the Queen's pound in the other.
