When people present in a hospital, they have been referred there or they travel to the accident and emergency department for analysis of their problem and admission to hospital. The situation in Limerick this morning is that six patients are on trolleys...

Leaders' Questions (28 Sep 2011)

Enda Kenny: Far from being a litany of failure, it is dealing with the truth. The Minister for Health has the responsibility for dealing with this situation.

Leaders' Questions (28 Sep 2011)

Enda Kenny: A sense of pride in their home is very important to people and this is self-evident when one visits them. Unfortunately, for a substantial number of people, this cannot be the case.

Leaders' Questions (28 Sep 2011)

Enda Kenny: The Deputy was in that corner of the alley when he made that comment. The Deputy Higgins's figures are a bit out of line with regard to a cost of from €2,000 to €3,000. The figures I have seen for the rectification of some of these problems are of the order of €70,000 or €80,000.

The Minister will set out a timeline - he has not done so yet, but he will do so shortly - for a...
