No. Before agreeing that No. 10, Supplementary Estimate for Public Services [Vote 42], should be taken without debate, will the Taoiseach give the House an assurance in regard to Ms Teresa Treacy of Clonmore, County Offaly, who is in Mountyjoy jail at the behest of a powerful semi-State company, the ESB? This is totally inappropriate when there is an alternative. Will the Taoiseach intervene to ensure this situation is resolved urgently?
