Deputy Carol Nolan is responding to recent comments made by Tony McCormack.
An Offaly TD says government politicians in the Midlands highlighting the country's dental crisis are coming to table years too late.
It comes after Fianna Fail's Tony McCormack called for updated legislation after Truly Dental in Tullamore confirmed it was ending treatment under the Dental Treatment Services Scheme to medical card holders next month.
Independent rep Carol Nolan insists it's Fianna Fail and Fine Gael's fault there's a crisis in the first place.
She says it's an issue that's been ongoing for years:
