Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

The areas of greatest need are the areas of least staffing. If this is not an appropriate subject to raise in this House, I do not know what is. If, in two days, the Taoiseach is to accept the resignation or retirement of one of his Ministers of State, could anything be more appropriate than his acceptance, in two days, of the resignation or retirement of two of his Ministers of State? The Minister of State at the Department of Health and Children, Deputy Tim O'Malley, is entirely unsuited to this particular post.
