Liam Twomey (Wexford, Fine Gael)

What we need is progress. We have no social services inspectorate or eligibility legislation, and major problems are being reported daily regarding care of the elderly. If the Minister of State has policy ideas, perhaps he might share them with us. If he has difficulty working them out, Fine Gael will do its best to help him overcome his problems. However, he should share them with the House and not simply the social partners.
