Geraldine Feeney (Fianna Fail)

Extra places have been created in all the training hospitals. Senator Feighan spoke of the hollow endorsement given by the Taoiseach to the Minister. The Senator also mentioned the fact that the Taoiseach had said that the Minister was doing his best. I agree with the Taoiseach in that respect, as the Minister is doing his best. Members of Fianna Fáil and the Government are very modest and do not need to sing each other's praises. The two Ministers of State at the Department of Health and Children were with the Minister in the Dáil when the health debate took place last week.
