Emmet Stagg (Kildare North, Labour)

I want the Chair's assistance in trying to discover a method I can use, in the parliamentary sense, to establish the facts on home help cuts and the funding for them. There are two contradictory answers on the record and I cannot find a way of asking a question to establish the reality.

With regard to questions on health issues, we can no longer get an answer to our questions in the House because the answers are sent out privately by the HSE and are no longer in the public domain. This is a serious dilution of our democratic right to ask questions in the House publicly and get answers to them.
