Could I ask the Minister about the health (transport support) Bill? Many disabled people around the country cannot access public transport because of the location in which they live, their particular disability or their individual or family circumstances. That is a tragedy for them and causes them considerable personal difficulty. I am anxious for the legislation to come to the House quickly in order that we can resolve the difficulty and make direct payments to people with disabilities who are affected. It is quite a problem in the constituency I represent, Cavan-Monaghan, and, I am sure, in many other areas of the country.
