I raise an issue that was highlighted in the Dáil last night during the debate on a Fianna Fáil Party Private Members' motion, during which Deputy Martin demanded an apology from the Government. Responding on behalf of the Government, the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Kathleen Lynch, cited the words of Sally Mulready from the Irish Women Survivors Support Network. Referring to the Fianna Fáil Party, Ms Mulready stated the following: "The Opposition party were in government for 14 years and throughout kept people like me away, refused to listen and blocked our path at every turn."
