- Leaders' Questions (26 Jan 2016)
Micheál Martin: The Taoiseach has great difficulty answering the question he was asked. Why did the Cabinet approve a plan that leaves acute hospitals short by €100 million? Pages 90 and 91 of the health service plan clearly lay out the position. Page 90 outlines the impact of demographics on hospitals and how demand for acute hospital services continues to increase. Demographic changes will see...
- Leaders' Questions (26 Jan 2016)

Waiting lists for routine operations are spiralling out of control and...
