- Hospital Emergency Departments: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (14 Jan 2016)
Jerry Buttimer: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this motion and thank Deputy Ó Caoláin for tabling it. This motion should not be used as a political football.

Those who use the word "crisis" should think about what...
