Excellent.

My next question concerns the FEMPI legislation. I spent a good deal of time interacting with the IMO which has repeatedly told me that the number one priority is the reversal of the FEMPI cuts for general practitioners, GPs, for whom Fianna Fáil and I went to bat very hard. We got a provision for its reversal this year. It was not done as quickly as we wanted, but we achieved it for the IMO. Is it working?
