Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I am proposing that we come back here on Tuesday as normal and have the Minister for Health and Children address these serious matters, which are being discussed in every other forum imaginable but not on the floor of this Dáil.

We need more time to debate the current fiscal difficulties and the economy, and both of these matters could be provided for. In order to get through to the craniums of those who have closed their minds to the arguments against the unrealistic deadline of achieving a 3% budget deficit by 2014-----
