Kenny accuses Opposition of Reilly 'witch hunt' as Reilly defends 'hands-on' approach

The Taoiseach has accused opposition parties of engaging in a witch hunt of health minister James Reilly after the fast-tracking of hospital projects in the constituencies of two his ministerial colleagues.

The Wexford General Hospital and Kilkenny building projects were announced by ministers Brendan Howlin and Phil Hogan before the HSE had formally approved the projects.
