Nomination of Member of Government: Motion (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2025-11-18
============================================================

Mary Lou McDonald (SF), Dublin Central

It promised to abolish the means test for carers. So much for that. There was precious nothing. It promised 3,000 new acute hospital beds but it has budgeted for just 220. It promised a permanent double child benefit and then it withdrew that as well.
