Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald repeated her party’s call for a general election as she launched a broadside against Mr Harris ahead of the Fine Gael leader’s appointment as taoiseach.
She said that the “scandalous cost” of the National Children’s Hospital also grew, and that a promise Mr Harris made on child scoliosis waiting lists had been “disgracefully broken again and again”. Insisting on a general election, she said: “I believe that the people of Ireland deserve so much better.”
Labour leader Ivana Bacik said her party would not support a “cosmetic” change-over at the head of the government as she also restated her call for a general election.She said Ireland was a country of “profound inequalities”, adding she doubted Mr Harris could deliver necessary change.“Unfortunately from what we have heard so far, his elevation today will not deliver the change that we need,” she told the Dail.
