Fergus O'Dowd (Louth, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to debate the following urgent matter: the refusal of the HSE to grant, on appeal, a medical card for a seven year old boy who had a medical card from the age of four months until March 2007, who resides near Drogheda, has a serious heart condition, has undergone open heart surgery twice, is on beta blockers and who will require further medical procedures and possibly a heart transplant in the future.
