Health (General Practitioner Service) Bill 2015: Second Stage (Resumed) (16 Apr 2015)

Mattie McGrath: The service always kicks the problem back to the GPs, as is happening with medical cards for the over 70s. They are the people who should be looked after above all.

It is outrageous that hooded men, accompanied by unmuzzled dogs, are...
