My dad grew up here, my nan and granddad lived here, but my uncle and aunt as well and I spent many happy years coming to see Nan and Grandad up until my early 20s when my nan had sadly passed away.
So this wonderful complex holds many great memories for me and look to be here to celebrate the 90th, to have been invited by the Resident Association by Gail is a great honour and I'm thrilled to be
The atmosphere's great and I think with the right

Sláinte Care, there's a political consensus around Sláinte Care.
It is the future, we hope, of healthcare in this country, and to do it and to implement it is going to have its moments of friction, and this was one of them, and the minister stood up to the

And again, one of the key things that I've been getting back over the years as a TD that represents a North Dublin constituency is,
is the lack of midwife-led care.
And that's something that the INMO have been calling for.
And as part of their response to this is saying that has to be part of the conversation.
