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

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

I accept that point and Deputy Shortall asked a reasonable question. I want to listen carefully to the contributions of the Deputy and all colleagues. I will then reflect on those. I agree with the Deputy and other colleagues. Deputy Cullinane and others have said it and Deputy Duncan Smith may have said it as well. For people watching this debate who are coming from a baseline of mistrust for real and legitimate reasons, we need to address those concerns. As I said, I am not ruling anything out. I want to listen to this debate very respectfully and then reflect on what is needed.
