However, European Commission officials were publicly and privately critical of the Government decision. Peter Power, the head of the European Commission representation in Ireland, told RTÉ Radio that Ireland’s concerns had been listened to and accommodated. “It is a big disappointment,” he said, questioning whether the deal would now go through at all.

Therefore, the revolt by farmers and many rural TDs against the Mercosur trade agreement, which Ireland will now reject, might have been foreseen. Then came the announcement that the Government would reject the deal. It is a largely symbolic gesture, as there are already enough countries to carry it in Brussels. Ireland will be joined by France in voting against the deal, but a blocking minority would require four members. This could increase EU exports to the Mercosur countries – Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay – by 39pc, worth €49bn to the EU.

While they do have challenges around trolleys today [Thursday], it’s not for the same reasons as Cork and Galway.”In general, she said all 29 hospitals in the HSE are “really, really, really together” on reforms.
