Frank Feighan (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil once again under Standing Order 32 to discuss a matter of national importance, namely, the continued embargo on recruitment in the HSE which is putting lives at risk. I have raised this before on the Adjournment. It is a matter for the Government to intervene and address this increasingly dangerous situation. Elderly people are losing day care services all around the country because of this embargo excuse. This is happening in my own town, in the Plunkett Home in Boyle. I ask the Minister to address this problem. The people who built up this country must be remembered. Day care services must be retained all over the country.
