Hospital Waiting Lists
Seanad Éireann — 2024-01-31
============================================================

Kieran O'Donnell (FG), Limerick City

Out of respect for the House and for Senator Clonan, I felt obliged to stay here for this debate. I am not going to respond to the debate. This is an issue I am aware of but I do not have a competence in. It does not come within my brief. I undertake to go back to the Minister to confirm what exactly happened here - I suspect it will also be followed up by the Seanad Office - namely, that the Minister was not present to respond to the Senator's Commencement matter. The Senator is hugely committed to this very worthwhile cause. I will seek to out what the circumstances are in terms of the script. Out of respect for the Senator and the House, I undertake to follow up on the matter.
