General Practitioner Contract: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-11-03
============================================================

Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

I looked at the Tánaiste's speech, which was full of good things, but what I have noticed since the day I was elected is that when those on that side read out speeches, they are full of spin and internal contradictions. The Tánaiste said, "Rivalry between the organisations was often bitter, and it made agreement harder to achieve and held back progress." The Tánaiste then went to the rival organisation that was not provided for under the framework and he gave it a confidential document. Does the Tánaiste think that was right?
