Mary Lou McDonald: Did the Minister, Deputy McHugh, give the Taoiseach any feedback from the very large conference held in the Waterfront in Belfast at the weekend?

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (30 Jan 2019)

Mary Lou McDonald: The reason nurses and midwives are on picket lines today is the Taoiseach's failures.
