- Topical Issue Debate: Hospital Services (21 Jun 2017)
David Cullinane: I am sure officials in the Department wrote the Minister's script.

Vote 20 - Garda Síochána - Internal Audit Report on Garda College, Templemore (Resumed) (20 Jun 2017) David Cullinane: It is in his opening statement and he says he did not get full co-operation.
