I stated that waiting times are too long, if Senator Murnane O'Connor listened to what I said, but the Senator playing politics with it will not solve the issue. Senator Murnane O'Connor's party's history in health is appalling. Fianna Fáil ran out of the Department of Health. It had not a Fianna Fáil Minister in Hawkins House. It put the former Deputy, Mary Harney, in there and left her there. That is the reality.
