Hospital Staff Seanad Éireann — 2023-03-09 ============================================================ Mary Seery Kearney (FG), Nominated by the Taoiseach As a party colleague and since he took up his post as Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell does nothing but work diligently, and he is very good at following up with his colleagues. However, the speech he has been given is three minutes of absolute piffle that has nothing to do with the question that was asked. It is an obscenity that someone in the Department of Health thought it fit to provide a Minister with a speech that goes on with a load of stuff that has nothing to do with the question I asked. --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas.
