- Order of Business (18 Nov 2015)
Micheál Martin: It was appropriate that we had a minute's silence in the Dáil yesterday and statements from all parties on the appalling atrocity in Paris. However, I do not believe the Government should have taken the decision to remove all other items of business from the schedule, in particular, the Order of Business, Leaders' Questions, Taoiseach's Questions and Topical Issues. All of these items...

Micheál Martin: Chaos continues to reign in emergency departments in hospitals across the country. In the past ten months alone, 80,000 patients admitted to hospital had to languish on trolleys for an unacceptable length of time. Last month was the 15th month in a row that increasing numbers of people were waiting far too long on trolleys. This period coincides with the period since the appointment of the...
