Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

If the Ceann Comhairle allows me finish, the Taoiseach should bring forward the legislation to allow us the opportunity to address these serious matters. The legislation is the health and social care professionals (amendment) Bill and the licensing of health facilities Bill. Will the Taoiseach give a response on the promised date of publication and indicate whether he will intervene to have the matters I have highlighted here addressed so we can be afforded an opportunity to question the Minister for Health and Children in this Chamber? The issues are very important and the medical card scheme has almost been flittered away by this further measure.
