Topical Issue Debate: Accident and Emergency Departments Waiting Times (22 Jan 2014)

James Reilly: They are going to get help and it is improving. We are not where we need to be by a long shot. Given the financial disaster we were left with, the moneys we have, the 20% reduction in the budget, the 10% reduction in staff and the 8% reduction in the growth of the population, Deputy Kelleher's shaking his head will not cure it.
