Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

Operational issues, such as some of the issues to which the Deputy referred, are matters for the Health Service Executive and are handled all the time by the executive. I have experience where Deputies ring me and I ring them back with information. The following week I receive a parliamentary question even though I have given them the information. I will not embarrass any of them because one of them is in the House. It is a bit of a joke, quite honestly.
