Seymour Crawford (Cavan-Monaghan, Fine Gael)

I wish to raise three different issues. I have been raising the issue of the attachment of fines for years. While it has been promised in numerous debates, I note it now has been removed completely from the list of proposed Bills. Can the Taoiseach provide an indication when a similar measure will be introduced to allow money to be collected in a more constructive way? Second, while the Minister for Health and Children is no longer with us, the health information Bill would be a highly important tool to get the truth from the health system. It now is in 65th place on the list and is moving backwards, rather than forward. Finally, I back my colleague, Deputy Creed. When the farm waste management scheme was announced, I asked questions regarding its financing and was assured in a glib fashion that there would be no problem. However, we now have a problem.
