Micheál Martin: When will we have an opportunity to debate the Health (General Practitioner Medical Service) Bill, to allow free GP service for those under six years of age, even though it will be at the cost of discretionary medical cards for children over six?

- Government's Priorities for the Year Ahead: Statements (4 Mar 2014)
Micheál Martin: On the long and growing list of abandoned promises made by Fine Gael and the Labour Party, the promise to reform politics has a prominent place.
