Health (Repayment Scheme) Bill 2006: Second Stage (Resumed). (27 Apr 2006)

Paul Gogarty: Originally I was to have seven minutes to speak but I am delighted that I now have 20. Many of the Deputies on this side of the House do not get much time to speak and we relish any such opportunity. There is certainly much to say on this issue.

Accident and Emergency Services: Motion (Resumed). (26 Apr 2006)

Paul Gogarty: Deputy Fiona O'Malley is correct in saying that we need somebody who will manage the health service efficiently and it certainly is not the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Harney.
