Arthur Morgan ejected from Dáil chamber as he accuses Mary Harney of lying379 dagen geleden
 
Louth Sinn Féin TD Arthur Morgan has been thrown out of the Dáil Chamber
this afternoon after he accused the Minister for Health Mary Harney of
lying to the house when she denied in a Parliamentary Reply that she had
received a copy of the report in to the circumstances of the death of
Tania McCabe and her baby son at Lourde's Hospital.

When asked by the Leas Ceann Comhairle to withdraw the accusation Deputy
Morgan said, "It would be far more important that I defend my
constituents from the lies of Mary Harney than to comply with the rules
of the Dáil."

He said, "The Minister for Health & Children should apologise to the
House for misleading it last week when she denied in a Parliamentary
Reply that she had received a copy of the report in to the circumstances
surrounding the death of Tania McCabe and her baby son at Lourde's
Hospital when, in fact, as was stated by the HSE in a statement to the
Loose Talk programme on LMFM radio on May 7th last, the Minister did
receive a copy of the Report when it was made public.

"The Minister must explain why she denied receiving the Report; and
explain why, if she did not receive the Report as she claims, she did
not seek a copy of the Report."

Speaking when he left the chamber Deputy Morgan said, "The fact that Mary
Harney did not seek a copy of this report illustrates how disinterested
she is in the delivery of health services. She should be removed from
office immediately."
