Minister should get the sack

I READ with great anger that the Minister for Health, Micheal Martin, refused additional funding to allow Monaghan Hospital operate a safe maternity unit.

This is the same Minister who has had more funds made available to him than any other in the history of the state, and he can’t even manage to provide local A&E and maternity, surely the cornerstone of any health service.

I call on the Taoiseach to remove him now.

Nothing can excuse his performance.
