Brendan Howlin: To finish the last conversation, Deputy Adams is right. It is not a uniform culture. Health has always been a very difficult area to get accurate answers on. When Deputies put in a query, they get an acknowledgement from the HSE parliamentary affairs division that acknowledges it in a standard way, and the reply comes back on occasion to give the Deputy the very information he or she gave...

- Leaders' Questions (22 Feb 2017)
Brendan Howlin: No, recovery does not automatically mean industrial chaos. Industrial peace requires constant minding and tending, as I think the Taoiseach knows, and it is clear that attention to industrial peace is not being afforded by this Administration. That is the plain fact of it. In our time we legislated for the restoration of registered employment agreements and the capacity to have sectoral...
