HSE waiting-list allegations

Summary

Senators O’Neill and Daly dispute responsibility for alleged manipulation of HSE waiting lists, with the Chair directing the exchange back to the Leader.

Pat O'Neill Fine Gael

I am amazed by the halos I see glowing on the Opposition side, especially Senator Mark Daly's on hearing his comments about the Government and the HSE. I remind the Senator that Deputy Micheál Martin was in charge at the time of the establishment of the HSE.

Is that a defence from the Government side for manipulating waiting lists?

I am not interested in Senator David Norris pulling his chair out.

Is that the best the Senator can do to defend manipulating waiting lists?

Please allow Senator Pat O'Neill to make his contribution. Will Senator Mark Daly, please, resume his seat? Does Senator Pat O'Neill have a question for the Leader?
