The women will not be left waiting. They have to come first

The women will not be left waiting. They have to come first. - Minister for Health Mary Harney on compensation for women affected by the Neary scandal

I believe that Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital is now the safest place in the country.- Ms Harney

Surely the Minister accepts that the Institute of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists has been discredited. - Liz McManus, Labour Party

The Medical Council is the regulatory body for the medical profession and it also approves the training facilities, such as the college of obstetrics. Those bodies have issues, which must be examined. - Ms Harney
