Reilly interfered on primary care centres, claims FF

Fianna Fáil has accused Health Minister James Reilly of interfering with a decision on the location of primary care centres in favour of his constituency after coalition leaders had signed off on a list of such centres.

Party leader Micheál Martin claimed Enda Kenny previously did not tell the truth to the Dáil about his minister’s role, after the release of new documents.

However, the Taoiseach defended his minister and said Dr Reilly had no role in the adding of Balbriggan and Swords to the list.
