The Newstalk presenter confronted Minster for Health Stephen Donnelly

Pat Kenny has said he does not have "great optimism" for winter after his daughter was rushed to hospital in what he described as a "dreadful experience".It came after Minister Donnelly warned that a "very difficult winter" was ahead for the HSE with the potential for a 'twindemic' of Covid-19 and flu.

"My own dreadful experience at St Vincent's Hospital with my daughter in the summer doesn't give me great optimism for how things will be in the winter," he said. The presenter emphasised that patients need to be told the truth and should be aware that they will not be treated quickly "even if they're brought in by ambulance".
