Capacity in the Health Services: Motion [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2023-01-18
============================================================

Richard O'Donoghue (IND), Limerick County

I am sorry, Ceann Comhairle. I hope you will allow time for me to explain with regard to the comments you made. The hospital has been this way for ten years. Media have been showing it since day 1. "RTÉ Investigates" went in to show it first-hand. Peoples' lives are at risk. Are you telling me that if I were a manager of a company for ten years which got worse and worse, I should not leave my job? You pulled me up even though the evidence is clear, not only from me, but from every other Deputy who has spoke against this hospital-----
