Welfare and Safety of Workers in the Public Health Service: Motion
Seanad Éireann — 2023-02-22
============================================================

Stephen Donnelly (FF), Wicklow

-----and then when presented with verifiable facts, has chosen to simply shout down the person who is pointing him to the facts. As the Senator may or may not be aware, the HSE and the INMO publish different figures. The figures the HSE publishes are the patients on trolleys in emergency departments at 8 a.m. That is what is counted. That is what is reported. That is what I spoke to. The Senator may not accept what the HSE is saying. He may believe they are liars. He may believe that they are trying to mislead people.
