Thomas Pringle (Donegal, Independent) | Oireachtas source

The problem is that the term "clinically appropriate" is not accepted because nobody really knows what it means. The Taoiseach has had to give lots of convoluted explanations today as to what it means to try to get it over the line. Why is the Government so hung up on it when everybody agrees that if those two words were removed from the lease, it would be acceptable? Indeed, even at the meeting of the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health last Thursday evening Professor Peter Boylan and Mr. Simon McGarr, who were there to object to the lease, said that as a best case, if those words were removed it would be a reasonably acceptable lease. Why is the Government still hanging on to it? That is the question that must be asked and answered. Unfortunately, the Taoiseach is not going to answer it. If the Government removes those two words, it would solve the problem. The problem would go away but the Government is not willing to do it. Why?
