Leaders' Questions (14 Jan 2015)

Micheál Martin: As far back as July, the Minister was alerted by officials in the Department to 650 delayed discharges. This was six months before Christmas. In October the Taoiseach was warned in the House about the fair deal scheme.

Leaders' Questions (14 Jan 2015)

Micheál Martin: The Taoiseach's initial response was a bit sleeveen, if he does not mind me saying so. He stated they were not as safe as they ought to have been. What does this mean?

We are not talking statistics because these are real people, whether a child, a parent or a grandparent. Immense distress has been caused and a fundamental question is whether their health or their safety was compromised as a result of the...

Leaders' Questions (14 Jan 2015)

Micheál Martin: -----it took us a while but not too long to understand that the man did not have much credibility when it came to making promises and commitments. However, people actually believed the Taoiseach when he said on that big billboard, "I will end the scandal of patients on trolleys". We were to go to www.finegael.ie, for details of how it would be done and to look at the plans.
