National Maternity Hospital: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-12
============================================================

Louise O'Reilly (SF), Dublin Fingal

I remarked to a pal of mine as I was coming over here that, as a middle-aged Irish woman, I rather think I would have learned to enjoy being gaslit by men in suits, but somehow I just cannot manage it.
I must inform the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, that a Nightingale ward has 24 to 34 beds in it, not 14. There is one 14-bed ward in the National Maternity Hospital.
