Perhaps that has been answered while I was not here.

Confidence in the Minister for Health: Motion (Resumed) (20 Feb 2019)

Kate O'Connell: I lend my voice to those speaking in support of the Minister today and to vehemently oppose this motion of no confidence in him. Everyone here is aware of the work of the Minister for Health, Deputy Harris, on the matter of abortion rights, including his efforts during the campaign and his role in guiding the legislation through our party and through the Houses of the Oireachtas.
