Four years might be a challenge at Mr. Reid's pay level but I can tell him that four years is a challenge for these parents. Early intervention is regarded as the primary factor in dealing with any of these issues. Mr. Reid really should look it up and see what it means. We have gone beyond the ridiculous. Since I last brought this up in the Dáil, we have a waiting list for dentists in Wexford that is increasing exponentially. We have medical card patients who might as well not have received those cards. They can access neither doctors nor dentists. It is just getting worse and worse. Then we read reports of €350 million going in to fix a waiting list, but that is not the problem. Somebody is the problem and I know it is not me.
