Noel Dempsey (Meath, Fianna Fail)

The Health (Repayment Scheme) Bill will be with the House this session and the matter raised by Deputy Kenny will be dealt with in that.

I am looking forward to going to the committee after the Order of Business to deal with and respond to the various matters raised by Deputies on the Sea-Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Bill 2005, but it is a bit rich to be criticising me for not tackling the organised criminality that is going on in the sea fishing industries when the Members who spoke have consistently, over the past four or five months, tried to thwart the introduction of legislation that will deal with it.
