I support the call by Senator Colm Burke and others for a debate on the health service. Senator Ó Domhnaill's remarks about him visiting Cork for two days and becoming an expert on what happens there-----

It reminds me of a former presidential hopeful, Sarah Palin, who said she was an expert on Russian policy because she lives in Alaska. We will compare Senator Brian Ó Domhnaill to Senator Palin from Alaska.

Some 100 companies have gone out of business in my own county in the past year.

It is always great to get advice from Solomon on the other side of the House. It is always very worthwhile.
