Peadar Tóibín: The Minister for Health met the family at the centre of the crisis in the National Maternity Hospital on 29 August, which I welcome.

Ceisteanna ar Reachtaíocht a Gealladh - Questions on Promised Legislation (2 Oct 2019)

Peadar Tóibín: It is not the subject of litigation. The problem is that there is a request for a review and the family have had no input into the composition of the panel or the terms of reference.

On one side, one has phenomenally profitable flipping of commercial property and on the other side one has the farming sector, which is stuffed at the moment, where the average wage is €8,000 a year and where...
