Mary Lou McDonald: And I am struck that the Taoiseach is in any way surprised that there is widespread clamour, and has been for some time, for proper investment in maternal and neonatal care and women's healthcare more generally.

Mary Lou McDonald: The Cabinet this afternoon signed off on the deal for the new national maternity hospital.
