- Accident and Emergency Services: Motion. (26 Jan 2005)
John Gormley: I thank the Independent Deputies for tabling this important motion. Nothing better reveals the true face of modern Ireland or the PD-Fianna Fáil coalition than the crisis in accident and emergency wards-units where there is now a safety problem.
