Mary Harney (Dublin Mid West, Progressive Democrats)

I apologise. I intended to address the issue. I am sorry I forgot to address it. The reality is that what we are doing here is putting beyond legal doubt the 19 bodies in question. If the Minister for Health and Children wishes to have power in the future to make orders, establish bodies or allow bodies to do certain things, we must have new primary legislation. I will not make any orders on foot of this legislation.
