Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

If Deputy Rabbitte wants me to deal with the issue of mental health by stating that because the Minister of State does not have all the resources or staff required, he has an inability, I will not do so. The Minister of State, Deputy Tim O'Malley, does the job to the best of his ability and effort. Jumping on what he stated in an interview as against what he did in recent years is totally unfair.
