Health during Labour (3311 words)
However, given that she is married to the Bray-based GP John McManus, she is able to bring a wealth of knowledge of the health service to her current role.
Liz McManus backs the introduction of accreditation for hospitals, but believes that the current proposal of a peer-accredited system is wrong for a small country like Ireland.
For this reason it is interesting to hear Liz McManus express her interest in dedicating a junior minister at the Department of Health to health promotion.
BBC News | FORUM | Irish abortion referendum: Your questions (2745 words)
First of all Liz McManus is voting no, she represents the Labour Party here in Ireland and is the spokesperson for health.
They've said things like - Liz spoke about the C case in 1997 in which a 13-year-old rape victim who was in the care of the state would have been allowed - and was allowed to travel to Britain only because she was suicidal.
But I think Liz and myself have in fact talked about this many a time and it's an issue which we would feel very united on I think, in that we would agree that an awful lot more can be done and should be done and hopefully will be done to help the women.
