David Stanton (Cork East, Fine Gael)

I thank the Minister for his response. Does he agree that the Irish Red Cross Society is a very important organisation both nationally and internationally? It is used here for emergency planning and other purposes, and is an auxiliary to the State. Does he also agree that it should get the greatest of attention from the Minister? What is the delay in implementing the 20 Government proposals? Has the Minister read these proposals and what are his views on them?
