Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The Minister expects to introduce legislation in respect of the HSE before the end of the year. As the Deputy is aware, he asked the members of the board to step down and they did so.

In response to what Deputy Tóibín said, one of the changes we are introducing as part of phase 1 of the Dáil reform package, which we agreed today, will allow for Deputies such as he to introduce Private Members' Bills and for that purpose the Dáil will sit specifically on some Fridays.
