Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I will not do so. We will see a two-tier system of mental health provision here, where on the one hand those who can buy access will get the best treatments and speediest access possible while everybody else will have to languish and wait, just as we must do in the case of the public health system through the network of hospital sites. It is no wonder the Taoiseach wants to see a guillotine on this and I absolutely oppose it. The Finance Bill needs to be properly addressed and all Members in this House should be accommodated with the opportunity to participate in Second and Subsequent Stages.
