Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (6 Feb 2019)

Alan Kelly: -----but the Minister told me last week that funding had not been secured but his colleagues came out a day after I released this information and said they had a guarantee from the Minister that it was.

Quarterly Update on Health Issues: Discussion (6 Feb 2019)

Alan Kelly: To be honest, we have had a number of examples of this. There was the answer the Minister gave to my parliamentary question, and there was the answer the Minister gave to a parliamentary question previously for which he apologised to Fianna Fáil about not sticking the line on.

Nurses and Midwives Industrial Action: Statements (7 Feb 2019)

Alan Kelly: That shows the real issues. The staff are working in environments in which they simply do not have enough space or nurses. There are real issues in recruitment.
