Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

We wish to conclude Report Stage today at 1 p.m. and we will put that to the House. It is unfortunate the issue referred to by Deputy Burton is being portrayed in the way it is. This is very much supportive of the hospice movement and it is a proposal supported by the voluntary hospice managers' association, which is involved in the hospice movement.
