Appointment of Taoiseach and Nomination of Members of Government
Dail Éireann — 2022-12-17
============================================================

Mary Lou McDonald (SF), Dublin Central

We set out to build a fair health service for all of Ireland because we believe that every person has the right to treatment and to care and we will not stop until this is achieved. We set out to build our economy, our prosperity, because we believe all people are equal and are deserving of opportunity and we will not stop until this is achieved. We set out to end partition, to unite Ireland in our time, because we believe that we are stronger together and we will not stop until we achieve this. This is the type of ambition that Ireland needs and Sinn Féin is ready to lead, to govern and to deliver. We believe that people should be given a straight choice: the tired performance of this failed Government or Sinn Féin’s positive, ambitious, achievable vision for Ireland.
