National Maternity Hospital: Statements Dail Éireann — 2022-05-12 ============================================================ David Cullinane (SF), Waterford I am asking the Minister why he made those arguments for all of those years. I will not go back and quote what he and others said because that would just waste everybody's time. It is accepted. Why did he have that position before he himself was involved in talks? Why did he initially carry that position into the talks and request public ownership? What was the reason? --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas.
