Programme for Government aims to make people's lives better, says Taoiseach

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has set out five priorities for his minority Government's first 100 days with ministers tasked with creating plans to tackle the housing crisis, rural broadband and hospital overcrowding.

Among the commitments in the Programme for Government - billed by the Taoiseach as a "partnership for a fairer Ireland" - is a target of only 7% of patients waiting six hours in A&Es for treatment by 2021, down from the current figure of one third.
