Charlie O'Connor (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

Deputy Gormley can leave it to the locals, they will look after me. I welcome this opportunity to contribute to the debate and acknowledge the presence of the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Harney. She might expect me to ambush her and talk about Tallaght Hospital, services for children and Millbrook Lawns health centre but I will stick to my national agenda and talk about the Bill. I am glad Deputy Glennon is in the Chair because he will allow me talk about issues in my constituency.
