Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

They are queueing up to die now instead of queueing up to get into hospital. I have a question about the blockage created by the Minister for Finance whereby appointments can be made only in exceptional circumstances. On Tuesday, the Government considered a range of issues dealing with crime, gang warfare and so on. We have been calling for this for quite some time. The situation now around the country is that there are vacancies for chief superintendents, superintendents and inspectors.
