Kenny defends HSE comments

Enda Kenny has defended comments he made about a company suffering because of HSE bureaucracy.

The Taoiseach made the comments in the Dáil when defending Health Minister James Reilly, against whom Fianna Fáil had tabled a no-confidence motion.

Mr Kenny said it was “a bit rich” for Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin to be criticising Dr Reilly considering it was Fianna Fáil which created the “monster” that was the HSE.
