Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Jun 2021)

Mary Lou McDonald: Last week, the Tánaiste, on his own behalf and presumably on behalf of the Government, made remarks that can only be described as woefully belated in respect of the new national maternity hospital. It is fair to say that we are now looking at a mess with the fingerprints of successive Governments all over it dating back to 2013, when James Reilly was Minister for Health and Children,...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (23 Jun 2021)

Mary Lou McDonald: It is not only in the National Maternity Hospital that facilities are suboptimal. I could bring the Taoiseach to the Rotunda Hospital Dublin and could recite for him the endless process that this hospital has endured to secure funding to carry on safe service provision.

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (22 Jun 2021)

Mary Lou McDonald: I too raise the ESRI data published yesterday and urge the Taoiseach to form and launch an ambitious, thoughtful and far-reaching recovery package for young people and young workers because all the data reflect that they have been hardest hit and the damage will remain for some time.
