An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (25 Oct 2022)

Thomas Gould: Many of my constituents and of the Taoiseach were devastated to hear the news that the new elective hospital in Cork will not be operational until 2028. Last September, promises were made that that hospital would be open in 2024. Hospitals in Cork are in crisis right now. Tens of thousands are on waiting lists. People wait days on trolleys. To wait another six years is not feasible. We...

It looks like a joke, but it is so serious that it would be wrong to do so. The Minister has completely failed to tackle vacancy. Once again, Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and now their partners, the Green Party, cosy up to the vulture funds, the land hoarders and the...

This represents a wider shift away from evidence-based community addiction responses. Fine Gael...
