Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael)

I wish to use my remaining time to refer to an e-mail one of our party representatives received from a young speech and language therapy graduate. She has been trying to get a job in speech and language therapy services in Ireland for the past three or four months and has not succeeded because there is an embargo on the HSE taking on speech and language therapists. That is the Government's response to the issue of priority.
