Galway Bay fm newsroom - Debates around healthcare in Ireland feel like "groundhog day" because the system is still in a complete shambles after years of promises.
That's according to Galway West TD Catherine Connolly.
She says Sláintecare - the planned reform of the health system - was developed as an answer to the overcrowding and waiting lists crises.
But she argues that hasn't happened and we're still in a complete and utter mess.
Deputy Connolly feels a completely abnormal and unacceptable situation is being normalised.
