Micheál Martin: The Taoiseach knows what a medical card provides. It gives one access to a GP and to a range of things which this young girl does not have.
- Leaders' Questions (11 Feb 2015)

Micheál Martin: With young Ryan's case, 50 pages of information has been sent to the HSE and the long-term illness card does not cover all the aids and facilities required by the child.

- Order of Business (10 Feb 2015)
Micheál Martin: The important point is that if one group of Deputies was briefed, all Deputies should be so briefed. It would be extremely unprecedented if there were a special briefing for one group and not the others. I believe the Taoiseach accepts that point.
