Ceisteanna ar Pholasaí nó ar Reachtaíocht - Questions on Policy or Legislation (25 May 2023)

Matt Shanahan: Four parliamentary question responses received by me in the past week show the continuing obstruction and failure to provide promised bed capacity at University Hospital Waterford. Even if this Government goes its full term, its promise to deliver 24-7 cardiac care to the south east is envisaged to be broken. Is this because the Government is inept, compromised or corrupt? In 2016, Fianna...

Matt Shanahan: On Monday, through the medium of Twitter, we learned of the Minister for Health's capital plan to spend €1 billion largely in Dublin. It means just one eighth of the funding will be given to the other eight model 4 hospitals, including Waterford. Our Parliament was not consulted in any way in advance.

It is not credible now that...

Matt Shanahan: The reason for looking for the extension to the boundary was to try to get more cohesive strategic planning within the city of Waterford and to give us proper access to develop the north side of the city. That has been a bugbear. I do recognise the greater integration and co-operative agreements between Waterford and Kilkenny local authorities. That is to be welcomed. I still think the...
