No Confidence Motion in Health Minister

Health Spokesperson Billy Kelleher moves Motion of No Confidence in the Minister for Health James Reilly.

The Motion reads: “That Dáil Éireann has no confidence in the Minister for Health, James Reilly T.D., because of his inability to deliver on his budget commitments which were based on false and misleading targets in many areas that were never achievable or implementable due to his lack of governance, resulting in more chaos across the health service which will directly impact on patients because of more frontline services being cut, extra bed closures, and more cuts to social support services to the disabled and elderly.”

The motion was seconded by Timmy Dooley TD
