The programme for Government clearly commits the Taoiseach to addressing the plight of the 32 survivors of thalidomide and it is an issue that has been raised here on a number of occasions over the past three years. Is that matter being progressed and, more important maybe in the short term, has the Minister for Health engaged with the two agencies that represent the 32 survivors?
Finally, having regard to some of the earlier exchanges and on the issue of Dáil reform, could I ask the Taoiseach if, perhaps, on the weekly meeting of the Fine Gael Parliamentary Party, he might put down an item on legislation so that his own members could question him on legislation and, therefore, would not be obliged to come in here to repeatedly raise issues?
