Confidence in Government: Motion
Dail Éireann — 2022-07-12
============================================================

David Cullinane (SF), Waterford

Four of the previous seven Ministers for Health sit in this Government, with nothing to show for it but a record of failure, and most, if not all, of those failures predate Covid. Let us not look back on those failures just over the past two years, because the truth is Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have been in government since the foundation of the State. The only reason they came together after the previous general election to act as one was to keep Sinn Féin out of government.
