The great depression is fuelling ‘Get Gilmore’ campaign
One of the party’s backbenchers said on RTÉ’s The Late Debate radio show that he was depressed because I had failed to credit Labour for its glorious achievements, such as the national children’s hospital, the same hospital that we have been promised for the past 13 years and which will now be built at St James’ in a few more years’ time — maybe.
As with any Government that has lost control of the political agenda, we found this out via a leak to RTÉ — six months after disaster-prone Health Minister James Reilly had promised to tell us, and following a chaotic period of counter-briefing to competing hospitals that they were to get the nod — oh, and there is no money to build the thing anyway.
