Róisín Shortall: Sorry, I am nearly out of time. If Mr. O'Donoghue does not mind, I want to stick with the Minister. Does the Minister accept then that that explanation does not really stand up if other types of services will be provided in the hospital building?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (11 May 2022)
Róisín Shortall: I will quote Professor Higgins who has described this as the need for "future-proofing". The Taoiseach is saying something else. The Minister is saying something else. It is easy to list the services that will be provided and to qualify that by saying, "but not limited to", which would future-proof the provision of services. We are told that the HSE insisted on including this phrase in...

Róisín Shortall: I ask him to do so overnight, please. I want to move on to the phrase "clinically appropriate", which is used right across the legal documents. The Taoiseach says the phrase was inserted by the HSE to make sure it would not be a cardiology hospital, neurology hospital or whatever else. That is to quote his words. However, the so-called "fact sheet" that was circulated among Fine Gael...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: New National Maternity Hospital: Discussion (11 May 2022)
Róisín Shortall: What he said in the reply to me is that the Sisters of Charity had gone. That did not answer the question. I have appealed that to the Ceann Comhairle. I am asking the Minister now to provide a legal note on what the indemnity entails for the Sisters of Charity, past and present.

- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (17 May 2022)
Róisín Shortall: We have to ask what was the point of the past two weeks. After nearly a decade of negotiations, the legal documents were finally published just two weeks ago. The Taoiseach stated that he wanted the documents to be scrutinised and indicated that he was open to changes being made. It is quite clear that this was a charade. We did not know how much of a sham this whole process was until we...
