- Leaders' Questions (5 Mar 2014)
Enda Kenny: Yesterday the Deputy mentioned universal health insurance, and he seemed to want a perpetuation of what he created himself, the cost of which increased by 300% to €15 billion and has resulted in a system that is inequitable, unfair, inaccessible and costly and that discriminates against those with medical needs.
