Leaders' Questions (16 Oct 2007)

Eamon Gilmore: Susie Long was a very brave woman who has done this country a great service. Her e-mail to Joe Duffy last January, which is reprinted in full in today's The Irish Times, is probably the most compelling narrative we have seen about what is wrong with our health service.

Leaders' Questions (16 Oct 2007)

Eamon Gilmore: The Taoiseach's answer is a total red herring. First, how does one know a case is urgent until one carries out the test?
