Agreed.

What about the statements on Davos?

Secret societies.

Davos.

The HIQA report on St. Brigid's Hospital in Carrick-on-Suir was very good. The Government decided to use it as a Covid step-down facility during the early months of the pandemic. It is in the back yard of the Minister of State, Deputy Butler, who is present. The Save St. Brigid's Hospital committee is coming to Dublin tomorrow to present to the Committee on Public Petitions. It is the final effort in trying to get the hospital reopened. We saw how badly needed step-down facilities and beds were in the recent crisis…

That is not true.

This plan is a typical con job by this Government, particularly by its Green Party component, and the people who support it. We had the COP shenanigans and the cost of all the aeroplanes that flew out there. They try to use fear. I definitely did not want the book referred to but I got it in the post as well. I did not ask for it, I did not read it and I will not read it because I know what is going on is a sham and a scam. We have the details here already of the failure to roll out broadband, the failure and scand…

I ask the Minister to come clean on this. He said on Sunday, and I heard him myself, that this was all done under darkness. I have photographs supplied to me showing that it was broad daylight, thankfully, with six men well clad in jackets. All they are missing is a "Paschal Donohoe No. 1" label on them. They did not have that in the photographs, so obviously they were hiding something. The Minister must surely have been aware that the Designer Group was working on substantial Government contracts for the Departmen…

The light I have to cast on this is that we have 6,000 fewer beds than we had in the 1980s but we have had countless numbers of extra recruitment campaigns. The Minister announces all the jobs and recruitment campaigns every day. Where are they? They are not on the front line. They are not nurses or doctors.

They are inside in offices and they are pen pushers. When we had the matrons running the hospitals, they were impeccably clean and sterile environments and they ran them from the front door to the back door, and consultants listened to them. Now we have ward managers, floor managers, bed managers, linen managers, hygiene managers, food managers, and discharge managers. We have managers for everything and nobody managing anything. It is absolute chaos. What happened after Christmas will happen next Christmas, as sur…

They are not making much of a difference. The Minister of State, Deputy Butler, read out to me nothing short of a diatribe on Carrick-on-Suir hospital. She should be ashamed to close it in her backyard and tell me this and that are going on. The Minister has a fine big empty monstrosity of a white elephant for a primary care centre while that is going on. He should not be trying to cover his tracks in closing a very good hospital. It is shocking.

Yes.

Ar an chéad dul síos, I would like to wish the Leas-Cheann Comhairle and every Member of this House a happy, holy and peaceful Christmas. I am reminded of a late evening and we were all down in the Round Room or somewhere. This is more like “Lanigan’s Ball” – I stepped out and you stepped in again and I stepped out and we had "Lanigan’s Ball". However, the people of Ireland have questions they want answered. I have spoken here on many occasions and mentioned powerful globalist forces who are having a huge impact on…

Could I get some silence? He has written and spoken openly about what he calls the great reset. He describes it as an opportunity to reset our world to create a healthier and more equitable and prosperous Europe and future. This sounds fantastic initially, but on closer examination of this cabal, as I call it, it is strange. One of his most famous quotes from 2016 gives us a little insight. He said that by 2030 people will own nothing and be happy about it. He is also quoted as saying “The sovereign state has becom…

All right, we will see who will have the last laugh, gáire. Santy might come to ye.

It is not, thank God, no. May I continue, with the Leas-Cheann Comhairle’s permission?

There are certain things that we cannot discuss in this Chamber anymore because one is shouted down. As I said, we have several books from Mr. Schwab of the WEF and I will quote again from him. In 2016, he said: What we are very proud of now is that the young generation, like Prime Minister Trudeau and the president of Argentina and so on, is that we penetrated the cabinets. Yesterday, I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau and I would know that half of his cabinet or even more than half of his cabinet are…

They are one in the same. As I said, I stepped out and you stepped in again. It is on the Government website now if anyone wants to look it up. The website is being touted by the WEF's Young Global Leaders group. Can Deputy Varadkar explain to me and to the people of Ireland - even if Members here do not want to hear it - why the Young Global Leaders organisation is looking to destroy the power of the people and is destroying our democracy? They rested on that-----

It is funny all right. Why is the Young Global Leaders an organisation that sets out to take and to destroy our sovereignty as well as the sovereignty of other countries? Can Deputy Varadkar explain to the Irish people how his position of Taoiseach will endure and how it does not present a conflict of interest? I believe it does. The Irish people and individuals are very worried about this. Deputy Varadkar might not want to know about this but they are worried about it. Do WEF members have any other supporters? I s…

You should be over in the Gaiety.
