The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, INMO, yesterday described the situation as "obscene" and said,...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (6 Nov 2019)

Micheál Martin: With no disrespect, people are finding it difficult to comprehend this ongoing, robotic, detached response to their living experiences. There is a disconnect between what the Taoiseach is saying in the House about the numbers of nurses and doctors and the reality experienced by doctors and nurses at the front line in hospitals and by patients and their families. It is a huge disconnect....

Micheál Martin: We are all very familiar with the tragic death of Shane O'Farrell and the extraordinary courage and perseverance of his mother to seek justice and to seek answers to questions the O'Farrell family has long been putting and has not really got answers to.

The failure to progress the electoral commission, which was agreed as part of our Dáil reform programme at the commencement of this Oireachtas, and had been agreed in a previous Government programme dating back to 2012 - and even before that - is extraordinary because it is key to ensuring that we safeguard our democracy, political and election campaigns and...

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Brexit Preparations (6 Nov 2019)

Micheál Martin: Given that the withdrawal Bill has yet to go through the House of Commons and the House of Lords, neither we or the Government can be complacent in respect of how the State prepares for 31 January. The acuity is still present. We know from a series of reports that businesses are still not as prepared as they should be, even though the first deadline was last March. There are ongoing issues...

Micheál Martin: That is correct. That is the fear among Commissioners in Brussels. Notwithstanding what Mr. Johnson is saying about the political declaration, he wants to have his cake and eat it yet again if he gets elected.
