Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I suggest to the Deputy that there will be an opportunity again for discussion of the restructuring of the hospital situation, the health services and so on.

I took the opportunity a number of years ago to bring a delegation from my party to Gaza and I visited the entire area to see at first hand the consequences of the destruction of buildings, etc. I know that Deputy Martin is also one of the few who visited Gaza. Prime Minister Papandreou informed the Council meeting that quite a number of ships wished to leave Grecian ports for Gaza. I have no control over what the Grecian papers write, no more than over any other newspapers, and I have no idea what the Deputy is talking about in the context of the IMF fulfilling the claims made. The issue was a concern for leaders.
