Geraldine Feeney: I can understand the anger in the Chamber this morning concerning the HSE and what has happened at Tallaght Hospital.

- Seanad: Order of Business. (10 Mar 2010)
Geraldine Feeney: I have a question for the Leader. I listened to Professor Conlon and was very impressed by him. I believe we have a great man heading up Tallaght Hospital, which is a great hospital. He discovered the problem within a couple of days of taking up his appointment. He was medical director prior to taking up his post as chief executive officer and he put the ball in motion. The guidelines...
