Seanad
‹ Order of Business (Resumed) Broken election promises
Summary
Senators exchange accusations over broken political promises, particularly free GP care, while the Chair repeatedly asks Senator Harte to put a question to the Leader.
The broken promise of the previous Government was the most costly in the history of the world, not just this State.

That is a broken promise. The promises to which the Senator referred are small beer compared to the broken promise when the previous Government was given a country to look after. It did not look after it; it broke that promise.

People were promised free GP care time and time again.
