Liam Twomey (Wexford, Fine Gael)

I would like to clarify the position in regard to the 2 million home help hours that have gone missing and about which the Minister has had difficulty giving me an answer in the past ten weeks. These regulations cover the Health Bill 2004. The Taoiseach said yesterday that these regulations will be introduced this year but I believe he was referring to different legislation. The regulations covering the parliamentary unit were supposed to come under the Health Bill 2004. It might give us some hope of getting answers to the simple questions asked. The Tánaiste said she would give me the figures in July.
