...do better, but these organisations have existed throughout the community for many years. One can see it on my own patch, with people running around in Range Rovers and wearing gold chains.

...emergency services for the Cork-Kerry region. I see at close hand the skills and capabilities of the Civil Defence, the Irish Coast Guard, the Red Cross, Kerry Mountain Rescue, the search dogs and the various voluntary agencies.

..., that this person was still in that role but she was not. A new programme manager was appointed, Ms Ciara Hughes, and we met with her.

We also did a sepsis awareness video but after...

Mattie McGrath: ...there has already been a lot of pre-legislative scrutiny. As far as I can see, it is like a sieve. It is like rounding up the sheep and I am a sheep farmer.
