Richard O'Donoghue (Limerick County, Independent) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Leas-Cheann Comhairle but I feel passionate about what has happened in the hospital. The first statement I made in the Dáil when I arrived here two and a half years ago was on the mismanagement of University Hospital Limerick. People have come to me in the meantime because of alleged incidents that have happened there. As a public representative, I want to protect the people of the country. I want to protect those who go into University Hospital Limerick. I also want to protect the staff there.
