Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

On issues where he has a clear policy, he wants them put to the convention. On issues where he has no policy, he wants them dealt with just like that. With regard to the health issue, agreements were made by the Government last year covering all Departments. These were very tough and challenging, and they included the health area. The health area has overrun, as it has done for many years, but there will be no supplementary budget.
