because they're not going to undermine their own business model by making it available to everybody.
Well, that's the whole point of these contracts, that you can do private care off-site.
I believe so, yes.
But the obvious issue is that you can't do obstetrics off-site because there's no off-site private maternity hospitals.
I'm not sure if it is.
I mean, that was one cabinet minister who seemed to have been nursing a vendetta of their own.
The same piece also said that another three cabinet ministers sided with the health minister, as did the Taoiseach publicly in Commons last night in Cork.
Well, basically, we have a very large kingdom in Kerry that now has to be divided, a political kingdom after Michael Healy-Ray... This is Shakespearean.
Well, there are some Shakespearean elements to this kind of fraternal fracturing between the two of them.
Michael Healy-Ray obviously gave this stunning interview on Radio Kerry, which was the first time he had publicly revealed...
a disagreement with Danny, despite the fact that in political circles it would have been understood and certainly in government for a long time that the two of them didn't get on.
I mean, if you would go back and Shane Ross goes back to 2016 when a clatter of independents were kind of being round up to help support
Enda Kenny's government.
And I mean, the whole political ethos of Michael Healy-Ray is that of his late father, Jackie, which is that the government is there to get things extracted out of for Kerry.
And that relies on you being a participant, ideally in the dream world as a minister for agriculture.
So Michael wanted to go in.
Danny was ambivalent, shall we say the least, about Enda Kenny.
And it was kind of understood that there was a disagreement there.
Which I was always a bit baffled by because often you would talk about cabinet ministers who don't get on with each other or who are known to despise each other.
But with the Healy Rays, they kind of had like this almost royal aura around them, where the Healy Ray dynasty was like a firm and no one would dare.
