Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I did not intend to raise this issue. Today we heard there are historically high numbers of children in sick and dangerous condition on trolleys; that is the matter I wanted to raise. However, I heard the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, Deputy Howlin, was to make this announcement outside the House. Is there something odd in that it takes a leader of Sinn Féin to tell this Chamber what the Government is doing, or that the Government does not tell Deputies what is happening?
