Last night I spoke in the Dáil about the ongoing scandal of the Trolley crisis and the excessive waiting times for those who present themselves to hospital Emergency Departments.

The McCartan report still leaves unanswered questions for the families of the Stardust victims. A new commission of investigation is now required to help bring closure after 36 years of suffering for the families of the victims.
