Leaders' Questions. (23 Nov 2005)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Does the Taoiseach recall the events of 14 October 2005, which was the date on which he last visited Monaghan town? Mr. Patrick Walsh bled to death in Monaghan General Hospital on that day because the surgical staff there were not allowed to perform a straightforward procedure to save his life. The doors of the operating theatre were quite literally barred to Mr. Walsh. Is the Taoiseach aware...

Leaders' Questions. (23 Nov 2005)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: To cite the opinion that Cavan General Hospital has been viewed at any time as dysfunctional is unacceptable and outrageous. This further burdening of Cavan General Hospital will surely render it impossible for it to function properly. That is a by-product of the decision announced yesterday. Is the Taoiseach aware that last evening there were 26 patients in the surgical ward of Monaghan...

Leaders' Questions. (23 Nov 2005)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I am doing so. What if the treatment room in Monaghan General Hospital is another by-product of these proposals and that it will also close after 5 p.m. until 9 a.m. the following morning with no service on a Saturday or Sunday? That possibility has been cited. My last point——

Leaders' Questions. (23 Nov 2005)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: I am concluding. Professor Niall O'Higgins, president of the RCSI, in his defence of yesterday's proposals, quoted international research on the basis of patient safety. The fact is that that research was administrative in nature and not based on clinical data, which is critical to what is happening in Monaghan General Hospital. It is totally disingenuous and misleading.

European Council Meetings. (23 Nov 2005)

Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: Does the Taoiseach agree that the proposed EU budget as discussed in Britain, offers very little to the 98 million people at risk from poverty across Europe and more than 20 million unemployed people? The broad economic and political priorities, as laid out in the budget, are not geared to tackle these problems. The contrary is the case and the political and social thrust of what was...
