Seanad: Early Child Care: Statements (13 May 2015)

James Reilly: ...it speaks volumes that 95% of the cohort of children who are entitled to avail of the scheme do so. I will correct a misapprehension because speakers who refer to the OECD figures are comparing apples and oranges.

Hospital Staff (15 Feb 2012)

James Reilly: .... There are varying ratios of medical and nursing staff in various emergency departments. Often it is suggested that one is not comparing like with like and that it is a question of comparing apples and oranges because of the complexity of injuries and disease that some departments deal with vis-À-vis others. However, the bottom line is that agency staff are remarkably expensive and,...
