Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

That is the week of publication of the social welfare Bill. Arising from that, I ask whether it remains the Government's intention that the provision for repealing section 1 of the Health Act 2001, which gives an automatic right to a medical card to people over the age of 70, will be included in the social welfare Bill or if separate legislation will be brought.

When does the Government intend to move the writ for the Dublin South by-election?
