Richard Boyd Barrett: In my question, I asked whether the Taoiseach is concerned given that there were lots of reports in the case of Portlaoise from frontline staff about the situation. We have a similar case with the psychiatric nurse suspended on foot of going to the media about the situation in Cork.

Richard Boyd Barrett: He said there was no contradiction between reforming and investing, but there is a big contradiction in those policies. The Commission has demanded cuts in public expenditure in areas such as health and social welfare, but then it gives out about the fact that we do not have decent child care services and says we should have investment, which is a direct contradiction.
