Gerry Adams: I understand that. I am looking for the Taoiseach to give a commitment to have full Oireachtas oversight when it comes out of the committee and to have a debate here, because this will have a huge effect on jobs.

Last month was the worst October on record for the number of citizens on trolleys in our hospitals. The number was almost 8,000 people including, infamously, a 91 year old patient who spent 29 hours on a trolley....
