Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: Nobody wants to take responsibility. There are capital projects in my own area, such as the Holy Angels school for children with disabilities, which has been waiting for 40 years for funding to move its children out of prefabs. Will it get the funding this year or will it be one of the projects that will be left again for another 20 years without being done?
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (5 Feb 2019)
Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: For three years there has been no overnight respite in Carlow. While we are told that the preparations for it are nearly finished, there are problems as to whether there will be bus services, how many nights it will be open or what will happen in the long term. What will be the effect of this? It is unacceptable that the Taoiseach and Ministers launch and relaunch projects all the time but...

Jennifer Murnane O'Connor: I give my full support to the nurses. I know how hard they work. They play a major role in people's lives from the time someone is a baby to when he or she dies.

It is important that we...
