Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Health Services (4 Jul 2023)

Erin McGreehan: I would almost cede my time to the Minister of State because what she is doing is incredibly impressive, as is across all her brief.

I am scrambling to take notes on all of what she has been doing over...
