Bernard Durkan (Kildare North, Fine Gael)

Regarding promised legislation, will the Taoiseach bring before the House the eligibility for health and personal social services Bill? It would enable a debate to take place where Members of the House could have an input into what the public are entitled to in terms of their rights and services in the health area.

Now that the electronic voting machines have been consigned to the deep, would it be possible to introduce the necessary legislation to give them a decent burial? Perhaps the environment (miscellaneous provisions) Bill would be the appropriate legislation to use to consign them to whatever place they will go. Hopefully they will not be buried at sea.
