Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I support the proposal that the implementation of the powers regarding the outworking of the Lisbon treaty should be given full address in this Chamber and that the motion should not be taken without debate. I also reflect on another matter at this point. Pending the response the Taoiseach will give, I shall reserve accepting the Order Paper because a very serious matter has been unfolding over recent days following a decision of the Minister for Health and Children and the HSE. Almost all dental treatment under the medical card scheme has been withdrawn.
