Frank Feighan (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the continued recruitment embargo in the HSE and the Department of Health and Children which is putting people's lives at risk throughout the country. In my own area the Plunkett home in Boyle has 100 elderly citizens who are still being denied day care services despite numerous Government commitments and political promises to reinstate the services three weeks ago.
