Louise O'Reilly: I understand that the Minister, Deputy McHugh, cannot be here. I do not mean to be disrespectful to the Minister of State, Deputy Mitchell O'Connor, when I say it is disappointing that he is not here to hear what we have to say.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Workforce Planning in the Irish Health Sector: Discussion (Resumed) (13 Nov 2019)

Louise O'Reilly: I thank the witnesses for coming in today. I could also say thanks to the members of the INMO but everyone says that. There is never a bad word said about nurses.
