HEALTH Minister Stephen Donnelly has been hotly denounced for “incompetence” in a red-faced attack by Labour Party leader Alan Kelly.
The loud attack, which bordered on shouting, came over the failure to send Mr Kelly numbers on the future supply of vaccines. As Mr Kelly bellowed at him, Mr Donnelly stared straight ahead without looking at the Labour leader.
The Minister later explained that Mr Kelly’s tirade had allowed him just ten seconds to reply, but in that time he wanted to say that he had brought he figures with him to hand over to the Deputy.
“You re responsible to Dáil Eireann and the people of Ireland, and you’re refusing to give out the estimated figures for vaccines for the next three months, which the whole country is dependent on. It s not acceptable,” Mr Kelly began, his voice rising.
Political Correspondent
Sinn Féin has said it is seeking to contact Ceann Comhairle Seán Ó Fearghaíl after he called on the party to apologise for correspondence it had sent to him.
At a private meeting of the Dáil Business Committee this morning TDs heard Mr Ó Fearghaíl describe an email from Sinn Féin as outrageous .
TDs attending the meeting said the Ceann Comhairle stated that he would not be dictated to by a political party and was seeking an apology.
A spokesperson for the Ceann Comhairle would only say that the committee s discussions are private.
The email sent by Sinn Féin Chief Whip Pádraig Mac Lochlainn was also received by Leas Ceann Comhairle Catherine Connolly.
