Labour's Kathleen Lynch: Micheál Martin had 'more reports than Murdoch' when Health Minister

A government minister has defended James Reilly's record as Health Minister after Micheál Martin said appointing him was Enda Kenny's worst mistake in the health sector.

Junior Minister Kathleen Lynch, who is running for re-election in Cork North Central, said Micheál Martin did not cover himself with glory when he was in the Department of Health.
