The Taoiseach said this morning that he wanted to get rid of this tonight. Those are the words he used. We are getting lectures all night about unsuitable descriptions. He wanted to get rid of it. It is a farce that we are sitting here. The Minister for Health could not come to the hearings of the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children for more than 12 minutes but he says he can stay here all night and all day.
