Michael Ring (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I will finish in a minute. All this Government has left is approximately ten minutes. The sooner it goes the better because the people are fed up with it. I say to the Ceann Comhairle, the Minister and the Government that they have let down the people. The VHI has let down the people who pay for that service. It is not right that a proper is not available to those people, particularly considering the amount of money taxpayers have provided. The Government lost control a long time ago. It is time for change and for a new Minister. We have the people who will do the job. I have the future Taoiseach and Minister for Health here beside me. Give us a chance and we will reform the health service and make it fair for everybody.
